a sample of COR LLC Importing records:
http://www.importgenius.com/importers/cor-llc
above shows Korean wheel "parts"
below shows a Chinese supplier (tho data is a bit old on both):
http://www.importgenius.com/supplier...yin-industrial
Not that one can deduce "wheel parts" are blanks/centers/barrels or lugnuts, but you git the gist.
My food last night was Chinese, my computer screen is Chinese, my cabin filter probably Chinese, so are my clothes hangers and most home furniture. But $4000 for imported wheels from Guangdong province? Does everyone NOT know the country is known for adding melamine into milk which directly fed the children? Are you guys running Vos/ADV/TSW/blah blah blah, insane?
Beyond style/weight, run a import records scan before you buy any wheel. It could be life or death. Speaking of which, it's SEMA time, which means most of the Asian wheel suppliers are all in Vegas hawking the same concave wheels. It shouldn't be too hard to find the factory of the blanks (if they're indeed produced overseas) there.

I also read somewhere that they also manufacture Bespoke Forged and Axiom Forged.
Whats the point in paying all this money then for a forged wheel if it cant hold up at a track event?

Jordan is that you? 
To all our valued members, we would certainly like to address this matter in greater detail, as all stories have 2 sides and a greater portion of the story was left out. Unfortunately, since this is a pending legal matter, our counsel has asked that we not discuss this matter with anyone, much less in a public forum. We hope you understand and can respect this. Suffice it to say, this disgruntled client has elected to try and tarnish our image that has been built over many years of providing a high quality product and outstanding service.
We would be more than happy to entertain any questions concerning our product, fitments, and warranty however we would ask that it be done via PM, as anything directly related to this posting is not something we can/should address at this moment in time.

I want to point out i glanced at the facebook profile of the owner of COR Forged
And there are pictures of him at the homestead racetrack participating in a track event with his Porsche with COR wheels on (Brava I believe).....
How ironic.
I wont post the name of the link since i don't want to defame anyone. To be fair I dont think COR wheels/Owner are showoffs like you know who.

I liked the way they sat that the customer has tarnished there reputation . alegedly changing the terms of the warrenty and claiming the wheels are not suitable for track use was cor's doing . The loss of reputation is solely down to cor's response and not honouring there products . PR disaster at its finest .

Yet another example of why a wheel having a genuine TUV rating is a good thing. The wheel crap coming out of China, India and other third world casting facilities is truly appalling. I'm surprised these types of failures don't happen more often.

I was all set to buy a set of COR F1 Mesh's in the spring (you guys remember Drop997Stop's wheels? My fave). Not so much anymore. These guys are just another group of unscrupulous dirtbags fleecing their customers.
$4,500 for a set of wheels they won't stand behind, and when they break they CHANGE THEIR WARRANTY and deactivate their FB page. I have a feeling someone is going to find out these wheels aren't even forged, or have some major corners cut in production.

Fire your lawyer and get a new one. Get a firm that is experienced with retail or direct customer based businesses. If you did, that firm would have strongly advised that you keep this quiet, do what needs to be done to keep that 1 customer happy and turn it into a positive customer experience...instead of the current mess that will now live on and exist on the internet.

The best part is the huge ordeal about this is blaming it on the paint job. Then to make it even better the guy said he bought the wheels in a brushed finish so they were just primered and painted. So the nonsense about a paint stripper could have screwed them up that the one guy claiming to be an expert (who also runs Cor wheels and could have a vested interest in the company/owner) is spewing out is irrelevant since no paint stripping was needed because they weren't even painted to begin with when they left Cor!

I've seen this discussed on multiple forums at this point, and regardless of whether they used a paint stripper, sand blaster, or alien acid blood there is no way the wheel should have "bageled" itself, ever ever ever unless it was a POS wheel. It wasn't even a rear wheel taking 800whp, it was a front wheel.

I see what you did there.
Oh goodness...who can forget Corporal Hicks. The phrase, "we're pretty fu$@ed now!" is ironic on this thread.
