Fuck that sucks, sorry man
The only thing wheel locks do is make it a pain in the ass anytime you want to do something on your own car.
Any decent thief will get them off as quickly as regular lugs.
Sucks about the loss, hopefully your insurance company doesn’t suck.
So, umm… what KIND of wheels were they? Pics? That would help a wee bit
Oh, didn’t see it. Shows as a red x at work…
How about the type of wheels?
they are volks
Good luck. :meh:
oh man that sucks tommy… good luck dude
Hmm… Well that dosent really make the situation any better.
Goddamn that sucks, sorry to hear dude.
well the ins co says that without an umbrella policy they will only cover up 1000.00 for anything aftermarket on the car. oem rims new from the dealer are like 700.00 each plus tires and tpms sensors…
so would they give u a check for 2800+ then? ive never dealth with insurance b4
Yes, but can’t you claim that they were OEM on the car?
:banghead:… no they are G-games made by Rays, Volks is a line made by Rays…
Shitty, there has been a huge streak of them doing that around here, so much that neighborhoods have been hiring security guards at to drive around at night
After reading this thread I got paranoid and called my insurance company to make sure I was covered by this type of thing. According to what my claims dept told me, I would provide them with the quote for a new stock set from the dealer, and they would reimburse according to that. Granted, that story could change if I ever needed to actually put in a claim.
stop saying they have to make it like new.
they don’t.
they have to make it like it was…
Mabey if they have the insurance photos with aftermarket rims. If they even look back at those pictures after signing off on them. Then it would still take a semi-“enthusiast” to even give a damn that they are aftermarket.
But it seems to me like he got the rims after he got the car.
Seems to me the OP already screwed up and told the insurance they were aftermarket. Now they’ll use that against him, their loophole to save a few thousand dollars.
Like I said, play dumb. Basically call and say “wheels gone”, “nissan 350z”, “help”…
shit tommy that sucks
in my best maid from billy madison voice:
you want me to take my shirt off for you?
They only have to make an equivalent replacement. Whatever that is…
then I guess it’s a good thing he didn’t call up the insurance company and say “somebody stole my curbed rims”. unless they can prove the rims where in less than perfect condition then they must _______.
