Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Girlfriend wrecked car. Question about wheels & insurance

nurseryboy · 05-10-2012, 07:36 PM

This past weekend my girlfriend was driving my car by herself (that'll never happen again, lol) and passed out (was coming back from an outdoor concert and was dehydrated according to medics) and ended up going off the road into a ditch. She's ok, and the car isn't too horribly bad off (to me it is, but I guess in the whole scheme of things it's pretty good).

Anyhow, 3 of the wheels got really scratched up bad. I just got the estimate from State Farm but haven't been able to talk to the shop about it (they're closed now). But.. on the estimate it lists REPAIR for the 3 wheels through TransWheel, at a cost of $213 per wheel. It also lists them as "Judgement Item". I'm not totally sure what judgement item means, but I really don't want them to try to repair wheels that are that messed up. Does anyone have any experience with this situation, TransWheel, and what my options are? I know these wheels are expensive, and I don't want shoddy work on them. I was expecting them to be replaced.
