5th gen Off Topic Thread (Official Ghustle thread v1)
It is just the overall idea that you spent money and support a company that is basically a thief. But in the end it is not my cash. All I am stating is that I personally do not support that and never will. I just do not like it when people with fake stuff state that their fake wheels or shoes or whatever are equivalent to the real stuff.
In the end, if you own something fake, just keep your mouth shut about it and not brag how you have it.

as for supporting theives, i can say this country was stolen lol, so was many others... ppl say christopher columbus discovered all there places but IIRC when he arrived at the place there were ppl already there lmao... since man, people have been capitalizing on other peoples ideas, add a lil twist and making it their own.... its life... same goes for cars n wheels

difference between me and you, i buy quality and DGAF about 'whats in and whats not in' if its a good quality and i like it, i buy it. i'll never be into fads
lmao if by real "its only" the 1st people that did research on to design a specific wheel then we would then need to research who was the 1st company to make a 5 star rim/mesh rim etc etc. outside of that all other would be knock off, and lets take it to the extreme here lol... all the food we eat is a knock off lol... back to clothing and fashion, im sure ralph lauren wasnt the 1st to have made collar T's lol... its just one of those things i think ppl should just chill with... there is "real" then there is "not real"
We are talking about an exact copy of an item to the last detail.
Volk te37 for example. Legit, light, and forged wheel. Plenty of fake variations out there are an exact copy of the wheels visually. However underneath of it, the fake copies are not forged, are heavier, and the finish on them is not even close to the real Te37.
I think you are a bit confused by the actual definition of a "knock-off".

a knock off is a knock off...you can say, i think it's kia that practically made damn near a replica of the civic...okkkkkk why get your panties in a bunch, if you dont like it, dont buy it..for somebody else it could be exactly what they wanted.
i cant say that i remember anyone saying that they are equivalent. it's always been stated that its a cheap alternative. i personally dont see rocking real wheels on a daily. i'd throw them on for a show and what not, but that'd be it.

you say these companies do so much "research" when to me, *the research on rims was already done for them, *the research of a design was already done also.. and to tie it into fashion is where i disagreed most.... i wonder how much research did michael jordan or Lebron James did in getting those shoes in their names lol...
who was the 1st wheel manufacture to come out with a concave 6spoke rim? how much "research" did that take them???... i dont blame the smaller company for capitalizing... we support that daily lol... we support theives every second lol...
I am not getting bent out of shape but people need to understand and actually value their decisions before making a purchase.
Hrmmm......
YOU!!!!! How in the hell did I miss page 263?? I certainly question the decision of me being the weirdest ghustler.......
So lets say you had an idea. Let's call this idea A. You designed it, tested it, put it into production. You own all the rights to it since you are the creator. Sales are going great until another individual takes your A and makes an exact replica and calls it B. Your sales on A drop drastically so there is less income in your pocket. You would be fine with it?

That's why IDGAF about the names on products, just their performance, feel, look, sound, etc.... a typical End-Consumer.
Damn bigger than me at my biggest.
you tied it back to fashion and i think its a poor example, but you did clarify that you only tied them together "TO AN EXTENT"

By research I mean what materials work best, the manufacturing process like forged or cast, how to market the items, etc.
Research is not just how the items looks (aka design) since there is more to it then that.

i actually commend the "knock off" companies for making me feel just as special as the more fortunate..... **** all that brand royalty... when really they stole the idea also lol
i try to stay away from what everybody else has........main reason why im ordering those christmas lebron 9's tomorrow....lol...after that imma get the china lebron 9s and rock a kevin durant jersey with them just cuz im an *** hole..lmao
Tell me I can't make a set of headers better than cattman's for 770.
I'll make a one off set better, and cheaper.

I guess that is where the difference lies because I actually care where my money goes to in the end. I want a quality product that I know is not a replica,copy,knock-off of something else. I will spend more money to get the real item and in the end know that even if there are copies of it, I still have the legit pair of wheels or whatever it is. And there are plenty of people just like me and they will recognize and give credit where it is due since they know.

If you do.... No1 will give you credit for anything... Nothing more than... "Oh that's a Maxima? I didn't know people mod those... That's nice"
all that is weak selling factors to jack the price up... what do you mean what works best lmao.... the rim spins and you get to and from work lol... its literally as simple as that no need to get extremely technical, if they knew what worked so great on research they should make an indestructible rim, there "best material rim" still bends and cracks the same in a pothole lmao..... if they can make a rim out of water and it does the job the exact same way as the "knock off" the who cares??? (tying back to fasion), who cares if your 100% cotton T's are polo or fubu??? you are clothed lmao...
i never understood the sneake fad and FFS are AF1's dead yet im so tired of looking at them and Jordan please stop there just plain gaudy now christ i have 3 pairs of jordans in the closet i have never worn cause they are ugly as sin and has anyone seen them new ankle cuff adidas?

hatin on my tims... hatin on my af1s.... CJ you're on the expressway to aackshun's ****list......
people say the word "stanced" is mis used relative to cars, but i think the ultimate and #1 most mis used word is "quality".... thats just the biggest bail out for almost everything car related... i guess for driving on asphault the best "quality" is forged rims.. GTFOH lmao
doesnt matter what u drive...u mod what your pockets can handle
That is why when you look at my 4th gen, it stands out that much more then these half-*** built cars out there.
In the end people give credit to individuals that do it right.
