Dun dun dun!

 

i wasn't paid for the photoshoot and i didn't know he was going to use the pics to sell stuff . at least they left my sig on the border, and it doesn't look like they edited out the bbs in the pics that i did take (but i'm using my laptop and i can't really tell anyway).

 

oh, nevermind, i took another look at the pics and looks like they did edit out the bbs sticker. a shitty edit at that

 

Will that guy stoop any lower? Selling knockoff wheels and stealing other people's work? Jesus

 

That's f'ed! Can they even do that? Take your pics, edit them, and then use them for marketing and sales purposes? It's different than personal use, isn't it?

 

i'm not too concerned about it. the pics were in the buyer's show off section and the owner submitted the pics. different story if they took the pics from my flickr, chopped off my border and sig, claimed it was their pic, and showed it in the main page.

i don't know if you guys remember the sti below. it was used in many magazine and internet ads between 2003-2004 by discount tire. well, that was my buddy's sti and his pic. he didn't get any compensation from discount tires

(minus the gay motivation border)

 

^^ he said on nasioc he ended up getting 500bucks because "discount tire pays 500 for amateur pictures" etc.

 

So the dude with the e92, are those knock off's with BBS stickers or are they the real thing?

 

The BMW is real, the wheels are fake.

 

Alright back on topic!

 

Yep, at least the owner admits they are fakes

yeah, that's nothing compared to how many ads they ran, and they started using the pic without his permission. $500 will get him 2 tires

haha i just read the thread. last time i was in school was 6 years ago

my350zPI ftw

this is a nice pic. they're over saturated, but i understand that's the effect you're going for

 

^^ i totally agree, i was just stating what he said a long time ago. they should have gave him a lot more. as for your pics, they shouldnt have edited them and daheechang probably sent him the pictures, they should still have contacted you though.

 

went out a few weeks ago with some friends and the trusty yet shitty point and shoot... if anybody feels boredom and wants to photoshop that would be awesome!

 

BBS stickers on non-BBS wheels? Is that like Volk stickers on Rotas? Thats it, im putting a 370Z badge on my car!

 

last pic's sweet

wrong analogy...

 

Yeah you need a fake sports car like an RX-8, then put a 370z badge on

I keed about the RX.. or am I?

 

wrong analogy also. it's more like putting 370z emblems on an rsx

 

fixed

 

Yup pretty much. The company that makes those wheels is the same company that makes Rotas I believe. The BBS LM knock-offs are pretty good looking imo..

I would still never put BBS or Volk stickers on knock-offs. I consider that rice, or the dude is a complete tool.

Time to put Type-R badges and Nismo badges on my car.
