Wheel Rim Damage

[Jonslatt]

Of course, I went with

Alloy Wheel Insurance for all types & size alloy wheel | Tidyalloys.com

after a fair bit of research. Good reviews, quite cheap, unlimited number of claims up to £1k or £2k limit, no excess.

I bought the standard package for 3 years, £129.

Just had a look. Seems like a fair package. Also going to get the SMART package as just got stung for £400 when my last car went back. Who knew that very superficial scratches (would have easily polished out) due to country hedges could cost so much! I hadn’t even noticed them.

Says in the blurb that they ask for photos of the wheels up front. Very detailed photos or just the whole wheel filling the frame?

I certainly know what you mean about the Aero wheels. Loads of people on here seem to have kerbed them, so the design is undoubtedly susceptible.

You might want to buy alloy insurance, for after you’ve sorted that one out. I only paid £129 for three years cover, unlimited claims up to £1000 total, no excess. So about the cost of two repairs.

Where did you get alloy insurance from?

There is a claim limit per claim though so it won't be enough for a new wheel if it needs it?

Anyone manage to get touch up paint which matches the 18 aero wheels in UK?

I am given to understand that this one matches

You’re right, I think if you need a new wheel they make a contribution (£100 rings a bell) but that sort of damage is rare.

Only took me 2 weeks to kerb my new x rims. I don’t even remember doing it.

Sorry for dragging up an old thread.

Looking at getting alloy insurance from Alloy Wheel Insurance | From £69 Per Year | SaveMoneyHub.com

£109 for 3 years. £100/claim, max £1000

Was wondering if anyone has actually made a claim, and how easy it was, could you go to a local repair place, or was it a specific repairer?

Cheers

I just got my Model 3 Gunpowder Performance wheels fixed for £60. Self insurance might be cheaper.

I was thinking, if I have 2 repairs within 3 years I'm quids in. Plus it's a lease so any minor scuffs can be repaired before hand back aswell

Do you know what colour they are? Did it give an accurate colour match?

I have a mobile repair company coming tomorrow am and they think it's sonic grey as per model s, but I think the gunpowder model 3 performance wheels are a different colour? Don't want it spraying with the wrong stuff!

should be a good match, they will know before If they are a reputable repairer
