STOP GMR from making ANYMORE REP WHEELS!


STOP GMR from making ANYMORE REP WHEELS!
The Issue
GMR has gone too far. At first is was some what comical and similarities between their wheels and REAL OG BOBBY JOHNSON wheels, were borderline and negligible. However, this new "VINTAGE" series has GONE TOO FAR, and needs to be put to a stop.
What is a rep? "A wheel that has copied an OG design BLATANTLY and with LESSER quality of manufacturing techniques and/or materials." Additionally, these wheels are priced just as high as the REAL wheel. Another definition could be, "A wheel produced by a company that is known for wheels that are BAD QUALITY/Use bad materials. Regardless of originality, REPS." If a company produces multiple style wheels, and 3 out of the 10 wheels are BLATANT copies of OG designs, ALL 10 wheels are reps. No Excuses. Concave vs not concave (Kansei Tandems), slight lit closer spokes, different center caps... STILL REP.
I challenge all of you to educate yourself on the risks, meaning and purpose of buy rep wheels over real, and CEASE this downward trend in the car industry. Imagine owning a fake pair of Jordan 1s, and going to a sneaker convention.... REP J's..... Regardless, the goal isn't to harass rep owners, but to STOP BRANDS like GMR from SCAMMING their customer (allegedly) into buying replica wheels for the same price as OG wheels.
