Insurance for modifications
#16
What's wrong with allstate? They gave me a killer rate and amazing coverage, it may also have something to do with me having 3 cars insured with them

Have you ever made a claim? Have you ever needed defense and indemnity?

You definitly can get coverage for your aftermarket modifications including wheels through any regular company in NY. The problem lies in that one wheel in most cases is not higher then your deductable. Now if each wheel is $1000 or more and your deduc. is $500 you could claim it.

Nothing recently, but in the past I had made a claim on my 6 series and everything went well, luckily no other parties were involved in the accident. Why, did you have a bad experience with allstate?

My auto insurance is GEICO and it has a specific exclusion for tires and wheels due to road hazard. Paragon would not even underwrite a supplemental policy for wheels and tires in New York.

At the very least, if you have your primary auto insurance with a discount carrier you should strongly consider purchasing an umbrella (excess) policy from a top tier insurer.

Woah this is news for me, I have allstate... are you sure they don't cover rims? What if my wheels get stolen or I crash them to the point of no return? I was under the impression that they cover anything and everything (stock)
I was thinking as long as the damage/ need for a new part is from an accident of some sort then I would be covered?
I am going to call allstate and see whats the deal, it's actually a pretty big deal for me - curbs love me for some reason, every car I owned eventually got curbed.

But I would never submit a claim for stock wheels to Allstate. For one, numerous claims will force them to raise your premiums, and these days Allstate and Statefarm are looking to cancel as many policy's as they can.
For stock rims, get the 3rd party wheel and tire policy. At 500+ per rear tire and 1k per stock rim, the policy pays for itself with one nail. I have never had a wheel damaged past the point of repair. This includes severe bends from our terrible roads.
Your dealer will walk you through how to submit claims You'll have to read between the lines here, but you are buying this policy for tires
I was thinking it would be an easy business model to offer aftermarket rim coverage, surprised no one has done this yet.

Are you referring to general comprehensive coverage or supplemental wheel and tire coverage? If you know somebody who offers either, please PM me as I will pick up that coverage tomorrow.

I can get your wheels covered no problem with an additional equipment rider for a set amount of $ or you can do a stated value policy for your entire car which would cover the wheels as well. Tires are not covered for road hazzards, buy from tirerack and buy their coverage.
Geico sucks
