i can tell you from my experience dealing with insurance companies everyday. if this was an insurance deal ricart didnt make the decision to put a used wheel on your car your insurance company did.
and the statement about the wheel being hugely discouted, thats a typical wholesale price of a new wheel. i get brand new wheels cheaper then that everyday.
not sure if anyone saw the wheels on the black mitsubishi eclipse from dennis pontiac at the car show, (black 18's) but i can tell you we had way less then 150 a wheel in them. dennis wanted them now now now so they ended up paying 315 a wheel because of overnight charges
