    i have a feeling you are saying this while not being in this situation? when you take the caps off they look close enough that people may not know they are vtx. sees a bad finish, bad line, wheel broken in person and could think they are scs. not to mention the taking of customers that would be waiting for a shipment or saving up for wheels.

    if you were trying to build a company bigger and stronger or trying to pay your mortgage and something similar happens, i am sure you would be singing a different tune.

    Aside from this just being fucked up no matter what way you slice it, do you know the back story of SCS? HOME GROWN company with excellent designs supported by many TW members. I hope to be a customer of theirs one day and will always stay away from POS companies like VTX wheels. So there isn't a patent and this technically isn't illegal. But is it moral? NO. Is the same product by another brand at 1/2 the price appreciated? Depends on who you ask and whether they care to support the small guy's craft and future success...
