And here's my price replacement breakdown if you took a check for $7000

Price you can get everything, shipped: Nismo wheels $1989, plus center caps, $240, plus TPMS, (let's say) $400, (let's say) Michelin PSS installed WITH a Costco Business membership $1500

Add that up $4129, I REALLY doubt the damage done to the car was $2871, and you'd lawfully get to keep the remainder.


What the dealer did is charge $1000/wheel, FULL retail or more, accuse him of defrauding the insurance company
