MITZ@CougarStore Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 Yeah, £38 extra a year....did someone say peanuts Snap, paid the same amount when I told them about my RAYS. Quote
nixy Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 might be a daft question but why do they make a difference? Is it to actually insure the wheels for what their worth? If not then why should it cost more and shouldn't you have the choice of whether you want them insured or not? I can understand when engine performance mods or suspension etc add to your insurance but not so sure why cosmetic stuff does. Quote
P15UL T Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 crap i had forgot i ah to inform my insurance about painting the car + adding the bodykit etc more bloddy money Quote

Could be down to desirability, the fancier looking the car is from the outside, the higher chance someones maybe wanting to nick it. Agree it should be down to choice though Quote

Agree it should be down to choice though I agree, I think this is why Ins companies boost the premiums due to the "fanciability" factor. I can't understand how this works though, as "fanciability" is purely a subjective opinion. A set of wheels that look good to one person might look like horsew@nk to another! I'd like to know what they would say if somebody put a set of 15" steel rims on their Zed, they are aftermarket wheels afterall. Its a con! toffeeman. Quote
nixy Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 wheels are not just cosmetic Nic why not? What difference would it make to your insurance - unless you were putting monster truck ones on. Quote
rmmackfc Posted March 17, 2007 Posted March 17, 2007 Think you'd tell your insurance company if you had these http://most-expensive.net/rims-in-world Quote
