Sorry to intervene but.... I would like to make some points and observations if you dont mind.

1 = COR Makes wheels for Strasses. So if you own a set of Strasses Wheels it would be smart to call the manufacture to be clear on track use terms and conditions. Since they are their own wheel brand they have their own rules and regulations. Also smart to verify refinishing or altering your wheels with them. It is important to know what your dos and donts are. ( I think this is the real problem with these wheels braking but we wont get into that)

2 = AMG091 and Billet Motorsport .... You guys are not helping the cause. No one has had an issue with Strasses Wheels so there is nothing to defend. Billet Motor Sports A simple We looked into it and we are in the clear would be suffice to inform the community that there is not an issue with their wheels. AMG091 coming in under a new screen name makes you suspicious and non credible. Not the way to address an issue IMO. It actually easier to be who you are and state your opinion.

3 = The issue that no one really brings to surface is the fact that the owner of the car bought wheels and then altered the wheels in a way that voided the warranty. Now the wheels broke and the owner wants to get a full refund and wants his car fixed. All of this because he wanted to save a couple bucks on finishing. From a manufacture point of view this is just BS. You turbo charge your 370 and Nissan tells you to go fly a kite if somethings happens to your car. Why should COR Wheels cover the damage if the customer altered the wheels in a way that voided his warranty. Also when did wheel manufactures become the safe haven for irresponsible use of the product. If you void your warranty, you cannot expect the manufacture to stand behind their product. Those rules are there for a reason.

These are my opinions and I know everyone likes a cat fight but in order to keep our fellow members safe we should be talking about the real problems and solutions to those problems. NOT denying who makes what and trying to bamboozle people into believing something that's not true so you don't have to address the problem. This incident should serve as a reminder of what can happen and that racing cars is not a game. Before going to a track you should know if the wheels are load rated for that kind of use. You should make sure all your safety equipment is in order and that you are being as responsible as possible. Just think about it... Your life is on the line.

Live to Race and Race to Live!

HAVE A NICE NIGHT EVERYBODY!
