2009 was already precedence that FIRST would do this sort of thing. It's not like those same suppliers don't have a huge financial interest in their wheels either. When 2009's game was released, all already-designed wheels got thrown out the window that year. When I speculated about CIMs going away, it was a guess because production issues can and do happen. There's not a shred of evidence that anything has happened to CIM production at all, it's just a possibility.
