pleased he's all sorted but i had this with my first car, a polo which i wrote off. I had put some vw alloys on and done all the sound system up (was smart for my first effots if i do say so myself  ) but when i wrote it off they insurance "engineer" said that he wasnt sure about the alloys and i said its just how i bought it and as they were vw thought nothing of it. He was ok and put me through in the top bracket for pay out as he could which was brilliant!

asking to take the wheels off was a bit cheeky and he said no

Normally, if there's any difference in the car from when it came out of the factory to when you insure it, you must declare the differences.

Precisely... Modified means altered from original specification in anyway, doesn't matter if it's an OE part or not.

The insurer would probably say that the rims make the car more desirable for a would be thief and hence required a higher premium.

I've read this one before, but if you've been in a crash a thief would hardly steal them!!
