How many times are you allowed to claim?
Diamond cut are a bollox in this country in my experience.

you have a pot of 3k to play with over 3 years..

so any wheel tyre damage gets covered, think alloys are 500 each if i need a new 1. and it is wifes car so itll be like Fred Flintsones car when shes finished...

might do it then, i know diamond cut are a ballache and if they did a nice wheel id have had diff. when i got mine the JCW only goes to 18inch diamond cut, i went full gloss black 17s...... this clubman has the option for 19s

My Scoob lasted 6 weeks on brand new DC wheels before they went back for going milky.
The Wife's Sportage went through 12 wheels in the 2.5 years we had it.
DCs are great to look at but never again!

Definitely worth every penny, You know what women are like for hitting kerbs etc.

All joking aside, yeah, I think it's worth it.

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it slightly ridiculous that it's got to the point where people have to take out separate insurance for individual pieces of their car?

Then again, if companies had offered cover for Subaru's uber-reliable 2.5 engines, I bet a lot of owners would have jumped at the chance.

yes

I started reading thinking it was about "covers" for Alloy wheels

then I realised it was about insuring them!!!
