COR Trident Wheels
Just wanted to share with the forum my experience with COR wheels. My 2000 C5 was vandalized and the custom wheels were taken about a month ago. I decided to invest in another custom set...after seeking new ideas I decided to pursue something that was close to what was stolen. COR has gone above and beyond to make this transition as seamless as possible. Upon arrival I will take pictures and expand on my cars resurrection as it unfolds.

Problem is. Most people on here do have the same wheels. There is nothing wrong with being different. I just put some 360 forged rims on mine and they look great.

Well fellas....I don't think I could describe the amount of frustration I've had with this process. First let me clarify, its not Cor that I'm frustrated with, its the everything else involved in the claims process. 
:*****
Here is a little breakdown of my issues
1. Wheels were delivered to the dealership (received without inspection)
2. Wheels and tires sent to Discount Tire to be mounted....TPMS sensor installed incorrectly and a leak developed
3. Car was towed to upholstery shop to have new top installed....inner wheel barrels scarred due to improper towing
4. New top installed......incorrect fitment, wrinkles in top, greasy hand prints, buttons damaged on cluster
5. Wheels sent back to Cor for inner barrel repair by Dealership.....improper packaging which leads to both outer chrome barrels being scratched!
If anyone would like to post pics please let me know...I will email you pictures detailing this horrible process.
