    We're all copycats to a certain extent. But we're not copying a product and reselling it - and to the same market at that.

    I like this guy?
    I know you guys are SCS groupies not saying I like VXT rims. But I like what he said here. You guys need not be so hateful, remember we support others that have copied or "improved on" someone else design. Not saying he improved on either. If you don't like them don't buy them, No need to hate on them. SCS is doing just fine, they cant keep there stuff on the shelf.

    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.
