Thanks to GS3Tek for telling me about this one. I am in NO WAY affiliated with the sellers of this item and they surely never had my permission to use pictures of my car for the sale of those wheels. Sure, it is nice to see pics of it but when I am not affiliated with the company making profit off of my pictures it makes me mad. Any of you guys who know these wheels you know that there has to be some tweaking of the fenders to make them fit right. Also other sponsors' names are on the car which can be bad if it is linked to negative feedback etc... Just wow these guys are really bold.

This just in 6-17-08 I got a response email from the company
This is the response I got from the seller - I CAN'T believe the audacity of this guy.

Just an idea. Assuming you took the pictures of your car write the company, with the help of a lawyer, demanding either compensation for the advertising use of your pictures, they stop using the pix or you will sue for copyright infringement.
Why not get some money for your next mod?

I'm not a lawyer, but a pretty knowledgeable photographer.
