You may be looking for the Los Santos Rimmers, a basketball team featured in Los Santos in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Rimmers is a manufacturer of clothes and sunglasses in Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, Grand Theft Auto V and Grand Theft Auto Online.
Description[]
The company was founded in 1974, according to their logo.
In GTA IV, Rimmers is one of the sponsors of the television show I'm Rich on CNT. In GTA Chinatown Wars, Rimmers expanded in Liberty City taking the place of the Perseus store in Middle Park East.
In GTA V, there is a Rimmers store that's opening soon in Burton, Los Santos, while some billboard ads of the company can be seen around the city. A small booth selling the sunglasses can be found at the Vespucci Beach Sidewalk Market in Vespucci Beach, Los Santos. Rimmers sunglasses can also be purchased at clothing stores (e.g. Sub Urban).
Influence[]
Rimmers is most likely a parody of Ray-Ban. Both companies sell sunglasses and the Rimmers logo seems to take inspiration from Ray-Ban. The brand name is likely influenced by Rockstar's love of sexual puns, as "rimming" is British slang for licking another person's anus; a "rimmer" would be someone who engages in this act.
