    Nah I'm gonna continue to hate on him :D

    VTX may have just started in 2016, but he (Varrstoen) has been copying rims in the import world for YEARS. Scumbag at its finest.

    Vin is a friend of mine, I don't even have SCS wheels. And I'm gonna hate on VTX because... well because I can. I'm not telling other people to hate on him.

    Anybody have some tips for parking for a Giants game tomorrow? Scored some free tickets so I'm taking my two kids.

    I usually just Bart it in then walk the mile or so but I'm not sure how well that'll go with my youngest. So I'm debating on just paying for parking to be close.

    I support this!!! the designs are very close two each other but it comes down to is the buyers choice. I hate seeing you guys get so upset and go to such extremes. Cant we all just get along.
    I see your point MJ I don't know VTX has been doing this for years. I personally don't give to shits about him. I buy what I like and what works for me. I wont be buying VTX that's for sure, I wouldn't want to be that guy.
    But I would buy these above. And to me its the same. There knock offs. And I support them just like we all support these.

    The difference is, with those two examples, there's only a certain way they can work, so obviously the design is going to be similar. In this case, there are unlimited ways to design a wheel, and yet this VTX crook decided to "design" his new wheels almost exactly like Vin's. That's the rub. It's not competition, it's theft.

    yes I know my grammar is horrible. But I dropped out of school in the 9th grade. Raised by white trash, didn't get my GED until I was 30, and finally working on an AS at 40. I need to start proof reading shit before I hit send. LOL !! I get supper pissed sometimes when family calls me out on it. they know me and know I'm not good at spelling or grammar but they continue to :boink:.:annoyed:

    What I don't understand is why he even decided to jump into the truck wheels world. His wheels usually only appeal to young swag fags that want to look like they have $3k wheels. Yet he's copying $800 wheels and selling them for $800.

    there not exact there is slight differences and the back spacing and off sets are different as well. Yes they look alike but if you look close there is differences. I'm not ever going to buy them. so to me I don't see the need to go all postal on him. It just makes those who do look like complete dicks. The mood has changed on TW in the last year or so. So much hate and anger. I'm glad there is a few awesome peps on here. But its starting to feel a lot like some of the other forums in here. someone needs to post a T&A pic and change the subject.
