Yeah sucks major dick.

Gotta find new wheels now.

Will most likely go with the same style as I like it.

But i'm thinking of going smaller width on the back. Because i have to camber it too much to clear the arch.

Could your insurer help at all or is not worth the while?

Hope those dogs get what's coming to them.

I would image the excess would be similar to the cost of new rims, and would raise premiums. Thats sucks Matt, harcore suckage.

They never do.

At-least you still have the rest of the car.

So everything has calmed down and I have accepted the fact that i will never get the rims back so im looking at new ones.

Same style.

I've decided on going for a bit more function over form, as they wheels previously were a tad too big on front and rear.

The front's were pretty much fine although, but if i go back to a 17 i will most likely not get defected as it pretty much will pull it directly flush with the front and rear guards and i wont have to run extreme camber on the rear.

I have decided on

Grid R's
Gloss Black
17" x 9" +25
225 /40 front and rear tyres.

I believe going back to 17's will be a lot less to think about while driving, as I was finding I was constantly thinking about "Am i going to scrub?, should i take this corner slower?, "that depression looks a bit deep hope i dont scrub?"

See below the specs of fitment.

Yeah, I don't think Bob Jane even stock any of that spec.

Meanwhile, just don't get silver, cause then we'd be too similar. :lol:
