I agree G-man, He is just businessman making money. My wife was telling me about some 18 year old that just bought a Lamborghini because it was his dad's dream car, and he bought his parents a million dollar home in a nice area of Atlanta. All paid for by money he made making videos of himself and posting them on YouTube.

That to me says there is too much silly money up for grabs , like , MASSIVE BUBBLE.
Haven't you noticed that them "influencers" as they are called are really not that interesting to watch?

We ran out of innovative things to sell, so now they are selling hot air.

Succesfully by the looks of it.
But to think that's a good thing... No way.

Walker is just one of the older and earliest ones.. the exception to the rule since clearly he's not a Millenial.
his works are a bit more refined and worked out then that.

But essentialy he does the same... He markets himself and makes money of the following.

He just monetized his hobby by making people think he has something unique.. he doesn't.
He has no technology
He doesn't put out any designs (his wheels are just outlined fuchs at high end price)

"Pedal to the Metal" ? Where is the IP? there is none.

Urban Outlaw Gruppe?? that's riding on R Gruppe's theme

If that's a business, it's the business of taking money from people who have no inspiration themselves..By offering them something easy to digest.
There's a sucker born every minute.

Nike isn't unique either, but they make plenty of money.

Pretty sure in their business they are in the top 3 in terms of patent IP.
They aren't the ones doing the copying...

In my state, they can't do that. It is a crime to move private property to effect a repossession.

Yes, both cars are front-wheel drive so unless the owners set the parking brake the rear wheels will roll freely. 3 friends and I once picked up the front wheels of an old Ford Fiesta and walked it down the road like a wheelbarrow. We hid it in the woods and my buddy could not figure out how we moved his locked car.

Yes, but that is the real world....selling the same old stuff but with a different spin.
His custom products are quality afaik, and I haven't heard of angry crowds of unhappy customers unlike the red fans.
Some are not to my taste but I still respect a pcar aficionado.

Patents are 18 years but Trademarks are almost forever.
The official RGruppe is a unique name and might have cause to challenge him on using that.
That or work with him.
The world is small.
