OK, if there is no curb on the side of the road and you damage the rim going off the edge and back on is it curb damage or a road hazzard?
I have 3200 miles on Wifeys 5 and over the weekend she had an 'event'. Front rim and wheel are toast. I took it into the dealership and they called the extended warenty company. "The edge of the road is considered a curb - curb damage is not covered."(pissed)
So I get a quote for OEM rims $520 (omg) EACH. When I get home I decide that I should move the doughnut spare from the front to the back. Thats when I discover that the back rim is bent also. Dollar signs float past my eyes and I need to sit down.
HELP!
Suggestions on getting the warrenty company to pony up?
Failing that, shall I take this 'opourtunity' to upgrade the rims?
Suggestions on what rims would look good with the stellar green color? I obviously do not want to make the wheels MORE prone to this, so I don't want to increase the rim size. I've never made any upgrades to the sedans I've owned over the years, so I'm new to this and could use some guidance.
