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

$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.
