I honestly don't mean to be a dick, but there are so many factual errors in your "feature" on that yellow Porsche (http://www.rpmrevolution.com/gal-feature.shtml), that it makes you look like a kid pretending to have a shop.

1. The GT3 isn't, nor has ever been AWD.
2. The GT3 isn't wide-fendered, and that isn't the "facelifted" 996.
3. Those BBS-LMs don't have a "true directional face". They're symmetric.
4. That isn't a TechArt body kit, it's the standard Porsche Aerokit.
5. That model of GT3 was never offered in America. That car might be an early GT3 lookalike (Aerokit), but it is either not a GT3 or not in America.
6. That car doesn't have the Aerokit rear bumperlets you refer to. That rear bumper is bone stock.
7. Exhaust not chromed, no roof spoiler, Type II rear wing? (standard Aerokit wing)
8. That car was at SEMA? I was there specifically to look at Porsche parts and I didn't see it. I was there all week and visited every hall.

I'm not trying to piss you off, but if you want to be taken seriously you need to be honest and forthright with your website. Pretending to be some ubertuner isn't going to win you any real, long-term fans or customers.

I dont think it is a issue of someone having it out for him vs just pointing out the incorrect facts in that article about the porsche. Paul was spot on with his post about the incorrect statements on that yellow porsche. Maybe they posted the wrong pics when they meant to show a C4S? only widebody 996 with NA motor that I know of.

No, don't worry - I had the owner of the car write that up. As you can see I didn't really proof-read over it prior to putting it on the site. I'm getting a new site built, so not really concerned about it at the moment...

That's a sweet Enzo you did too. Looks a lot (exactly, actually) like the one Giovanna did for SEMA with the one-of-a-kind set of centerlock wheels. It's way hotter than that crappy Maybach you did for the guy with fuzzed out Arizona plates. What part of Atlanta are you in, by the way? Those palm trees are sweet, and of course the famous mountain range here (the San Gabriels?).

He might be the greatest vendor ever on another or even this forum, but the BS meter is off the charts. If you want to be respected around here, being honest is a good start.

I just asked Giovanna for their pics, & they didn't mind. Nothing wrong with it. I'm in Marietta...

Edit: The Maybach was also done by Giovanna, not by me. It's your opinion what you like about the cars, so not really holding anything, but thanks again for your opinion.

Not only did you miss the sarcasm in my post, you are a bold-faced liar. Now, I'm not going to be as nice. You're busted, kid. Here's the site you plagarized your "feature" site from: http://www.wheelexperts.com/gallery/feature/004_996c4s/article.html

Your page's text: After browsing through many vehicles as the first feature vehicle for RPM Revolution, we decided to go with a trendy and sexy vehicle for our first project. For consideration, the car had to be one that we were familiar with, and one that had been a good application in terms of sales for us in the past, and Porsche was the only answer. After looking at various models of the current range, we decided on the ever-popular 911 GT3 model. In order to maximize the lip on the rear wheel for dramatic effect, we decided on a wide body version of the current face lifted 911 range. This model combined the great looks, all-wheel drive chassis, and underpinnings of the more-expensive Turbo model with naturally-aspirated Carrera power.

To begin, we addressed the basics first - suspension and wheels. A TechArt coil-over suspension was used to lower the car, BBS LM wheels was called on to provide the rolling stock. The LM style offered a modern twist on a Porsche classic wheel design, with a true directional face and a reverse lip configuration, so it was the perfect choice for our project. Measuring 19x8.5 up front and a whopping 19x11.0 in the rear, the wheels were ordered in the silver finish. Wanting to maximize the staggered configuration, while including clearance for aftermarket brakes, without having to modify the body, the wheel lips were chosen to be 2" up front and 3.5" out back. The wheels were mated to Yokohama AVS Sport tires specially-imported from Germany , 235/35/ZR19 for the front and 315/25/ZR19 for the rear. This gave the car a mean, aggressive look without being too overbearing. However, there was another stage yet to come.

To add some more flair to the car and to give it an even more aggressive look, we wanted to add an aero styling package to complement the wide stance of the vehicle. CEC provided its TechArt Type II package, which consists of a front bumper spoiler, a pair of side skirts, and a pair of rear side panels to mount to the OEM rear bumper. To complement this package, we also added a Type II rear wing, roof spoiler, and chrome exhaust tips to round out the body. Ron Harvey and the crew over at Midtown Auto Care expertly prepped, painted, and installed the package in a record one weeks' time, because the car was needed for a photo shoot the following Monday.

The final product was showcased at the SEMA show in Las Vegas, NV. With this great success, we hope that we can expand our horizons and feature other exotic cars later on.

The text from the site mentioned above: After successfully building several Mercedes and BMW project vehicles, we decided to turn our attention to a more upscale marque for our next project. For consideration, the car had to be one that we were familiar with, and one that had been a good application in terms of sales for us in the past, and Porsche was the only answer. After looking at various models of the current range, we decided on the ever-popular 996 model. In order to maximize the lip on the rear wheel for dramatic effect, we decided on a wide body version of the current face lifted 996 range. Since the turbo model was way out of our budget range, our only other wide body option was the new Carrera 4S model. This model combined the great looks, all-wheel drive chassis, and underpinnings of the more-expensive Turbo model with naturally-aspirated Carrera power. A pre-owned 7000 mile example was located at a local dealer, finished in Lapis Blue Metallic with a Graphite Grey interior, and we were underway.

To begin, we addressed the basics first - suspension and wheels. A TechArt coil-over suspension was used to lower the car, while HRE Performance Wheels was again called on to provide the rolling stock. Their 542R style offered a modern twist on a Porsche classic wheel design, with a true directional face and a reverse lip configuration, so it was the perfect choice for our project. Measuring 19x8.5 up front and a whopping 19x11.0 in the rear, the wheels were ordered in the optional brushed aluminum finish for an extra edge. Wanting to maximize the staggered configuration, while including clearance for aftermarket brakes, without having to modify the body, the polished wheel lips were chosen to be 2" up front and 3.5" out back. The wheels were mated to Yokohama AVS Sport tires specially-imported from Germany , 235/35/ZR19 for the front and 315/25/ZR19 for the rear. This gave the car a mean, aggressive look without being too overbearing. However, there was another stage yet to come.

Ron Harvey and the crew over at Midtown Auto Care expertly prepped, painted, and installed the package in a record one weeks' time, because the car was needed for a photo shoot the following Monday.

The final product was showcased on behalf of HRE Wheels at the SEMA Show 2003. The SEMA show (Specialty Equipment Market Association) is the aftermarket automotive industry's trade show held annually in late September/early November at the Las Vegas Convention Center, and to be invited by a vendor is a great honor. Needless to say, we were thrilled by the invitation, and we would like to extend a special thanks to the staff at HRE for their efforts. We would also like to thank CEC for the TechArt goodies, Midtown Auto care for installation duties, Cargraphic USA for tire assistance, and TWCompetition for marketing assistance and support. Unfortunately, this project vehicle has already been dismantled and sold, so stay tuned for our next project!

You're kidding, right? You cut and pasted someone else's (accurate, I might add) descriptions, changed them very slightly (but not enough to make them correct or even all that close) and you're going to pretend this is all on the up and up?

Guys, it's a question of trust. Here comes this guy, claiming to be something he's not. Did he build that 911 it says he built on his website? Nope. No chance (that car is clearly in California, and his descriptions are not only very far off base, but stolen off another website!). Hell, if he did build it and is that clueless about them, would you let him work on your Porsche? I know I wouldn't.

So far, 90% of what I've seen from this guy is bullshit. You don't think this is cause for concern? What happens when you order something, pay for it and it never arrives? You want someone that's been shown to feed you lines or someone who's earned your trust? This whole thing looks like it's either a) a scam or b) some 19yo kid who wants really bad to be a big time shop, but not put in the money and effort to get there honestly. My money's on b) but that doesn't make me feel any better about it.

I came in here with no intention of slamming this guy, but rather a genuine interest in some of the products he, or at least claims to, carry. When I logged on to his site linked in his sig, I saw enough bs and misinformation to raise an eyebrow. I looked further and found that nothing on that site is as it appears to be. This causes you no concern? By all means, excercise your free will. I know my money would sooner go to people who've earned their place here like Geordie or Karl. It's your money folks, you can do as you please. I'm just amazed that after the lid gets blown off this clown you guys would rather defend him than see him for what he is. Whatever.

I'm never concerned about getting ripped off anymore as long as I'm using a credit card.

You have valid points here though. What looks like simple plagarism is just one sympton of a huge problem. Everybody's trying to get rich selling parts and 'tuning' cars but they may be doing more harm than good to the cars their working on. It takes more than being a 'car guy' to become an asset to enthusiasts...it's takes years of experience and knowledge of what works and what doesn't.

I'm not saying for a second that 'R Revolution' is doing this, I'm just kind of venting about 'tuners' in general.

Funny, that's not what I heard back from Peter Lee, President of Wheel Experts when I asked him. This is what he wrote:

Thanks for the heads up - this guy has copied us in more ways than that (look even at his signature, he has copied us in the way he types brands into his sig even down to the LLC part, which I highly doubt he took the time to incorporate). Yes, we are upset, but unforutnately, legally there is not much I can do.

Our company was one of the first to begin selling wheels on the internet forums 4 years ago, so we do have protection in some areas as well as some first mover advantages, so I cant say he is really hurting our business, but I do find it extremely annoying. Luckily, we do have a lot of ppl on our side such as yourself who look out for us everyday, and for that I thank you.

I was notified about this thread by a couple of our customers. Now Rush did intially approach me with help with his business, and I think he is a good kid, but here are my thoughts directed to him:

1. You indeed have copied a lot of things that I did, even down to the "Automotive Group, LLC." I would not recommend putting that in your title if you are not truely incorporated under LLC guidelines, being as that people may view you as something you are not. Also, I dont think it is legal to declare yourself as a corporation when you are not.

2. An "Automotive Group" generally consists of multiple auto-related divisions within an umbrealla company, not just one company that does one thing. Our business is much more diversified than just selling wheels online - is yours?

3. Your signature on the forums and presentation is extremely similar, if not exactly the same, as mine. You may want to change that for your own benefit so people will not think you are a wheelexperts copycat.

4. Your gallery writeup is also very similar to ours. Try a different approach.

5. Gallery cars should always be your own work. Not someone elses rebranded as yours. It is usually deceitful to the customer otherwise. I can honestly say that we have provided wheels and/or parts for every single car shown in our gallery, and yes, we had to start from scratch too.

In summation: I think if you try a different angle at your business, you may have better success. Right now I think a lot of people view you as a copycat of us, esp since a lot of our customers have brought up this topic with me before. Try to gain a competitive advantage other than price and you should be successful.

Honestly, I have nothing personal against this Rush guy. Never met him, and to be honest if I did I would treat him like I would any other member on this board. I just want to look out for the best interests of you guys and myself when it comes to vendors. I've seen too many bad things in the past to be passive about it all.

It's easy folks. If you want to get in this business, do it the right way. Work hard and earn people's trust. Don't take the easy route by stealing other people's hard work and claim it's your own. It makes you much too hard to trust when it comes to things that involve money.

I just got a very nice PM from Rush, essentially saying "doh! I f'ed up". No worries, Rush. I'm not here to persecute you or anyone else. For what it's worth, he's shown the first glimmer of repentance, so from here on out I think we can lay off our man Rush. Let's give him a fair shake at regaining our trust and a second chance to start from square one to become the vendor he wants to be. Fair enough everyone?

Well, anyways - I had the opportunity to talk to Mr. Lee & Paul. Just to say, I had to no intentions on stealing Mr. Lee's hardwork that he's built up in the past yrs.

I can only hope that I can build trust within the members of the forums, & not having second doubts on where their money is going. I can understand where my reputation is at this point in time, but I definetly want to stay & show the members that I'm not a business with poor business ethics.

I can only thank Paul & Mr. Lee, for showing me what has become of this. Thanks again.

I agree, now that is a way to turn a bad PR situation into a good one. Always admit your mistakes. Consider it Lesson 1. :cool

Are you kidding????

Now that the kid got busted on his BS copycat tactics and finally admitted when ENOUGH people called his BS, its ok to trust him to have ethical business practices? haha what BS. Is it years of expose to Enrons and Worldcoms that we are numb to poeple trying to rob value and/or credit from other people who have honostly earned it, that we say it is ok now?

A permant business ban should be in order given the UNETHICAL bs that he tried to start here. Would you really want to buy from a supplier that has PROVEN they dont have ethical practices and most likely will not be around to stand behind a product or give customer service like the businesses he copied? F'nnn unbelieveable one would consider saving small change to deal with someone like that. Just starting is not an excuse to lie, a 12 yr old knows right and wrong, it comes down to ones ethics or the lack of it seems. I am sure all of you know people like that, being caught doesnt change them overnight.

On big ticket items like BBK etc, it pays to deal with a knowledgeable vendor who does have expereince with items they sell, not copy cat skills. Folks like James at Bimmerworld etc have the knowledge and ethics to provide service way after a sale. What have we seen here besides claiming others work for his own? lol, still laughing at his comments to Paul until others chimmed in. That in itself proved he wasnt going to come clean untill he didnt have a choice.

Mike, not a future customer

Getting a second chance is what America is all about. Rush admitted he took shortcuts and hopefully he's learned from his mistakes. I will say that if his website doesn't change and if he continues to tell white lies then I won't be so forgiving.

It takes balls to come back after ownage from multiple sources, incl. the people he plagarized. It would've been easy to disappear a'la Ced or come back and call everybody names and deny everything but instead he owned up right away.
