Will the insurance company compensate for damaged rims?
1 Answers
Whether the damaged rim can be covered by insurance depends on the actual situation. Generally, if the rim and tire are damaged separately, such as a tire blowout causing damage to components like the rim and wheel, the insurance company will not compensate unless the policyholder has purchased a separate tire loss insurance, in which case compensation can be obtained. Relevant introduction about rims is as follows: Introduction one: The rim is a cylindrical metal component that supports the tire from the inside, centrally mounted on the axle. It is also called the wheel ring, steel ring, hub, or wheel disc, and comes in various types based on diameter, width, forming method, and material. Introduction two: Depending on the characteristics and requirements of different vehicle models, the surface treatment process of the rim will also vary, roughly divided into painting and electroplating. For ordinary vehicle models, the appearance of the rim is less considered, with good heat dissipation being a basic requirement. The process mainly involves painting treatment, which means spraying first and then baking, making it cost-effective with bright and long-lasting colors. Even if the vehicle is scrapped, the color of the rim remains unchanged.
