Hi all, a car bashed into my side a week ago. I have a quote for repairs which is likely to write the cat off. I want to keep it and do the repairs myself. The insurance company are likely to try to downgrade the costs. My rear door and sill needs repair and painting. Here's the question ... The wheel was hit damaging the hub and wheel itself. It's drivable but i heard somewhere that if an aluminium wheel suffers damage it should be replaced. Is there some official recognition and statement of this anywhere? I've tried googling it but not too helpful. It would help to add the cost of a new wheel to justify write-off. Thanks
