Insurance company trying to repair rims
I am having an issue with my insurance company trying to repair, rather than replace my alpina rims. All 4 were slightly bent. BMW of course wants the wheels replaced completely. Are these wheels something that can be bent back correctly? I want brand new of course, so what type of reasons should I give them that would force them to replace and not repair?

This is not a 10 speed bike. The speed rating of your tires (over 140 mph) simply prohibits cold bending your rims. |

You'll have to show BMW documentation that it needs to be replaced, based on performance and safety. Otherwise, they'll have to do what is required by their procedures to save cost.

Thanks for the input guys. Finally got them to agree to replace the rims completely. Excited to get my car back after 2 long weeks of driving a Nissan Altima lol
