    You care if only Toyota-specific wheels are your entire livelihood, and are a long-standing, respected member of the community who provides an excellent product and service, as opposed to a professional, full-time ripoff artist.

    I like to think integrity still matters in this fucked up world. IMHO.

    Sure. But there are other reasons to hate them, too.

    Not trying to roast you. I'm not, anyway. Yes, ripoffs are everywhere in life. But Vin is a local dude and a great guy and full of integrity. He deserves every bit of business he has built, and does not deserve to be ripped off by some lazy, bigger operators. We'll help him anyway we can. In Norcal, we have members TW expressing his products all over the place every day. He's not just another vendor.

    ^ this. Plus why call out one company? When almost every company has something EXTREMELY similar.

    I get he's a single dude operating with a few others and I'm sure he works hard as shit, but I highly doubt he came up with the original design that all these other companies have as well.

    Not "destroying another man just because." Just the opposite. That dude sells tons of other knockoff wheels on and offroad. Vin only designs and sells Toyota-specific. That's his niche. The other guy's niche is whatever sells. He has many other models. This won't hurt his sorry ass.

    So all you do is add some simulated 951 bro beadlock screws and it is your own design? I'll recess the screw and boom I got my own wheel ;)
