got a couple questions.......

ok- i just got my camaro back from the body shop today and it looks fantastic!! i got hit back on sept 26th and it messed up one of my rims, so the body shop sent it off to get "remanufatured" it looks like a brand new stock rim but it doesnt match any of my other rims because they dont have the paint on them and it looks a lot newer. shouldnt the insurance company pay to get the other rims just like that one or can they make my car mis-matched? the body shop told me it only cost $125 a piece to get it done so if i call the insurance company tomorrow and tell them that it looks mismatched will they have me send the others off or what?

if they dont do you guys know of any site online that refinishes rims for cheap?

and how do you get rid of those little swirl marks? does polishing compound work?

I wouldn't think the insurance co. would have to fix the oldness of your other rims.

Yeah, I agree with Mark. They have to fix what was damaged in the accident. But it can't hurt to call and argue a little with them
