Sick must have "The General" auto insurance. Haha any time I've ever dealt with a reputable insurance company (Allstate, state farm, etc.) They give me all new stuff regardless of where I buy it from; no questions asked. Some guy hit my old car, he had state farm, I went to the most expensive body shop in town, state farm called me, asked me (over the phone with no proof mind you) how much, I gave em the quote and 2 days later I had a check. Had similar experiences with Allstate.
Saywat is correct. Infiniti charges $1000 for a headlight, you think a wheel wouldn't be $950? I can't imagine a situation where my wheel was in mint condition and the insurance wants to give me a refurbished unit. I would drop them like a bad habit.

I have State Farm and went to a top of the line body shop. the fact of the matter is my car is 10 years old. if I get into an accident and say I damaged my right front strut and wheel, the insurance company isn't going to pay 2k to replace it with brand new oem parts when my other wheels and suspension are 10 years old. now I did get a lot of my parts replaced by brand new oem parts but the wheels were able to be fixed. and let's not forget if the quote exceeds your cars worth then it's declared a total loss end of story. you think an insurance company is going to pay you 4k to replace 4 wheels on your car that has 120k miles and is worth 7k at most? lmao cmon man
