Are you going through your auto insurance or Home owners/renters insurance. I once had a Cervelo road bike stolen from my office when i left it overnight and my renters insurance covered it since it normally resides at my home. Depending on your deductables it may make more sense to go that route. As for the wheel situation. Get an MSRP qoute for brand new factory wheels with brand new factory tires mounted and installed with an alignment. Use this as the baseline for what the insurance provides you minus deductable. Then take that money and buy a nice but affordable set of aftermarket wheels (Forgestar, Weds Sport, Advant Garde) and pocket a grand or two.
