I read all 10 pages and nowhere did I see that he has this resolved. If COR makes crappy wheels (and I've honestly never heard of them), and he has "evidence", why is this matter still dragging out? Seems like, at the very least, an out of court settlement would've been reached just so the company could save face...i mean, that's all assuming that they were in the wrong.

Either way, it makes a good "don't buy fake wheels" post, right? lol So, has someone made a "only buy work, volk, ssr, ccw, etc wheels" meme yet? Seems like it's time for one.

I googled COR and a lot of stuff came up. There was like 4 or 5 at the top for "good quality". Funny how that will probably not get discussed cuz 1 wheel broke. Such is life I suppose.

I'm glad to see a supposed "Expensive" wheel company get exposed, yet another reason I'm glad to have proven Forged Rays

What is your point? The car is a mustang, GT500's have 20's in the rear 19's in the front. I guess that means they shouldn't take it to the track? I don't see the problem with him running 20's as long as they fit, I would never put 20's on myself honestly. Sorry to get your panties in a wad.

Can you imagine the profit margin on a set of these over priced pieces of garbage?

They made that same statement on the GT-R forum 2 days ago. I think it's a just a "copy and paste" statement to any thread they can find on the matter.

What is crazy though is all the $$$ spent on attorneys and ish, they could've just given the guys money back and been done. Now this statement is going to hurt them more than ever. Oh, well their company reputation is out there on display now.

I think it goes alot farther than that. The guys wants COR to cover the damages to the car on top of replacing the wheel. COR said no, and lawyer'd up.

I think I would be asking for damages to my car too.

That adds a bit of money to the pile. But from what I read, I think there were months of COR looking at the damaged wheels and 'assessing' them. Basically keeping the owner in the dark. I would also ask for help with paying for the damage on my car.
