As said in our pm's for the price im selling these for you can use them untill you get the ins check.Then just save up a little and get the rims you want and resell these and get your money back.

Steeez33 came through big with the loaner wheels. That was a real solid move. I put them on yesterday. Unfortunately, I drove today and I'm getting a loud noise from the back wheels. I have no idea what it is but I parked it. I think I'm taking it to the dealer on Monday. I really hope that there is no further damage. To be honest this is the most concerned I've been since this whole thing started.

the nise could be that the wheel that is on there is unbalanced or bent but if not the insurance company will most likely try and tell you that the noise is being caused by "prior damages." make sure that if they say this that you fight and be sure to emphasize the fact that it was sitting on blocks and that anything could have happened while the thiefs were putting the car up. keep us posted!

The wheels are fine. Its the backing plate. The dealer said it just needs to be straightened. It looks like the insurance company is going to come through with a full reimbursement. The issue is I don't want the stock wheels to be replaced. I told the dealer to fix the backing plate and give the car back to me until I get the money from the insurance company.
