Alloy Wheel Insurance
Discussion
Anyone taken out specific alloy wheel insurance on their pride n joy?
I've got turbo 911 wheels on my 718 CS, which I think are diamond-cut ??
Repair, refurb or replacement of these would be v expensive I'd imagine.
In my long history of car ownership, most have had scuffs and scrapes to their alloys.
Though I'm going to be a ultra careful with the 718 CS, because I know I'm going to break down and cry if I scuff these alloys, I also know that my parking skillz are D- See Me After Class at best.
So am looking at getting them insured.
ALA, who I'm insured with for Gap, don't cover diamond-cut alloys. My OPC doesn't offer alloy insurance either. So interested to know if anyone here has found a good insurance product?

excuse my lack of knowledge but which wheels on the current models are diamond cut?
I'm guessing the 911 Turbo ones are which are the ones i've currently picked but I could decide on any others to go with carmine but now i'm wondering if it's a bad choice
Not sure which of the Porsche selection of alloys are diamond cut, but the Turbo 911 ones are.I'm guessing the 911 Turbo ones are which are the ones i've currently picked but I could decide on any others to go with carmine but now i'm wondering if it's a bad choice
Have no regrets about choosing them. They look spectacular, moreso in the flesh.
Think they suit red Caymans especially well too.
Thanks Alan.
I did have a close look at totallossgap. Interestingly their online quote (alloys only) came out at £169 for 3 year cover for me.
Only possible sting in the tail is that they have their own approved repairers, whereas I'd prefer the option to specify - as I'd take it to the Porsche wheel repairer that my OPC uses themselves.
I will email totallossgap about this possibility. If they will allow that, then I think it's probably worth it.

Did you go with this? Looks like they cover diamond cut on their policy and £189 for 3 years with £10 excess.
I called them up.They state on their website that they will insure you if you bought the car new in the last 30 days, but to give them a call if you bought it in the last 90.
I was well beyond 30 but within 90 days when I called.
On the phone however they stated that they are changing their policy to only insuring those bought within 30 days, and nothing more.
So mine are not covered.
