insurance won't pay for aftermarket wheels need advice
Im trying to figure out how much 1 stock 17inch wheel and stock tire will cost at the dealership. Im trying to figure this information out for this purpose my claim adjuster came out to adjust my car and i need one of my 19inch stern wheels to be replaced. The problem is that he only wants to pay for a stock rim and tire instead of paying for my aftermarket wheel so im trying to see if i will break even so that i don't have to come out of my pocket i think this is bull**** what do you guys think. Stern wheels arent to expensive so i think i should be okay but i dont know how much a stock rim and stock tire at the dealership sales for.

Sure have him pay for a brand new 17" OEM wheel and tire. At the rates the stealership charge for 1 wheel and tire you'll probably have enough to replace your aftermarket. Call the dealership up and get a quote. Then tell your insurance adjuster to mail you a check.

I have aftermarket parts myself. Trust me.. I'm so freaked out about stupid people hitting my car and not getting anything back from insurance.

Don't forget to ask for the cost of a new valve stem. Stealership will charge you like an extra $10 dollars or so because you know you're not suppose to reuse them

17" 235/50/17 bridgestone potenza from the dealer is giong to run about $250. The rim is another $350 easy. So, you should be able to replace the aftermarket rim and a tire easy. Call the dealership, you'll be pleased they are making you quote the stock parts because they are just as expensive as the aftermarket if not more. Good luck with things.

Look over you declaration page and see if there is any "Additional Equipment" coverage. Ask him to show the contract and where it states that coverage is only provided for "factory" or "manufacturer" equipment. Small companies sometimes dont offer additional equipment, but ask him anyways. Good luck.

When introduced my car to a curb and bent up one of my Volks, the insurance company paid for repair without question...they said they were even going to replace it if necessary. I had Safeco at the time. The insurance company should have no issue paying for all necessary repairs to your car. I hope you don't get screwed over...best of luck...sorry to hear about your accident.
Ohh...and what 06MagneticZ said above is a really good idea...make the insurance company prove that your policy states OEM only.
