Hey quick question. Always wondered if someone stole your custom wheels, hows does insurance handle it. Providing you did not have the custom insurance add-on.
Did they gave you the full value for your custom or factory wheels and tires?
Good question, initially they would only cover the "factory" wheels, because like you said, I didn't add the wheels to the policy, this car was bought and serviced at a local lexus dealer, when the adjuster called to get a quote on the tires and wheels, the service dept told them that the car originally had the factory chrome 18's and Michelin run flats, total price $4800..Amazing how fast they changed their tune as to what they where willing to cover..My son had pics of the Niche's, I emailed them to the adjuster and he found a set at a local rim shop, after my deductible, they covered $3200, included tow, locks, mount and balance...I got a great deal on the giovanna f8's, just wish they where 20's
Just went through your whole thread, its crazy, damn and you had locks! what kind of alarm do you have now? I didn't have locks, free advertising to get stolen, I have two diff type of locks now, and I know locks are not theft-proof but they are a deterrent,
just regular bolts, ignorance is bliss right? and I live in a nice neighborhood, you walk out the door of my condo and your looking at the Elizabeth river, very quite, and poor lighting in the parking lot..
Sorry to here this but it sounds like you made out pretty good. This has to be the worst feeling though...seeing your car on blocks. I would **** myself.

$4800 for a set of 18s and crappy tires. Gotta love the people that shop at Lexus for all of their aftercare needs, they keep our accelerator pedals good and greased up for us.
