Name My Rims!!!!

[ossie_21]

Hope this is the appropriate forum, but these are the rims that came with my car when I imported from Japan, but I don't know the name/model number of them, so I can't find much info on them.

They are 17in Rays Engineering/Volk Racing rims, although I have measured them & it came up 18in, so maybe they are bigger. Anyway, they look the shit. The thing is my car was assessed, and I guess they took the chance to make sure my mods were on the policy etc etc. Not knowing how much they were worth, I asked for the compliance workshops opinion, and was told probably $300-$400 per rim. So I got them insured for $1500 on replacement when I took my policy out, and didn't think anything of it.........until yesterday.

The insurance company called me & said that the actual replacement value of said rims are $3600 (bling effing bling), which is way more than I expected. A pleasant suprise anyway! Because the policy is still for the best part of a year they said because they are on the policy for $1500, that's what they will cover in the event of a claim.

If you do know the details & could let me know, that would be helpful. Cheers.

Your wheels are made by Volk... Im pretty sure the model is "winning"

As for size, they are 17inch... Why?? Read the value infront of the "R" on the tyre.. Says 17

As for value?? Some guy was selling some second hand on the forums not long ago between 1200-1500 from memory...

3500 for those rims?? Maybe your insurance company was thinking TE37's...

Hope I could help

Well, they might have been 3600 when new.That might be why the insurance company quoed them at that price. It's weird that your insurance company went to that much detail. With Just car, I just told them i had wheels. They go how much are they worth. I said xxx. They never asked what time etc. I coulda said they were worth $1, or 10k.
