A Wheel company that copied a members company.

Welcome

 

Oh I completely agree with what you're saying. It's really a disrespectful move on their part. At the end of the day though, it's an open economy. I'm sure Vin's clientel base is so large that his business won't take that much of a hit. His loyal customers will be there and the scavnegers who want to save a buck will support the knock off. In the end, Vin will still be satisfying many consumers. Let's just hope the knockoff has some flaws, so it won't take over the market.

 

and gave a ton of equity in the company to yeti. so it would be like vin owning part of vtx and making them redesign.

 

I call him Vinny

 

No kidding.

Seen "Vince" posted a lot in this thread by his bros who know he's a great guy tho.

 

Short for Vincenzo, no doubt.

He is Italian.

 

Not only did they copy that wheel model, but their profile picture shows a knockoff of the Level 8 MK6.


(I apologize if this has already been mentioned)

 

Didn't see that one but no surprise

 

Pretty sure Level 8 makes nothing but knock offs.

Just sayin.. they're the same type of companies.

 

True, but that just goes to show they're stealing a majority of their designs.

 

Vin spent time and money developing/building/marketing/selling his wheels. That makes him the developer. Tepui, CVT, etc. are consumers, not developers of the RTT concept-yes, each has given input and have their designs incorporated but they started with a base others developed for them AND each PAID to license their design.

 

Bad form @VTXWheels!

 

Clownin' the first set I see in person.

 

Lol

 

Starting to believe I could sell you diamond shape shit from my chihuahua.

 

Not if I get my chihuahua to shit a diamond shape first. Then you'll be copying me dammit!
