You'll find they will only replace with standard equipment though not your nice posh rims. The excess will also (usually) be hiked to put you off claiming anyway. Only reason my rims are coverd properly now is because of the classic policy and the fact I'm an old git these days

What do you mean by 'claim alloys'?
I dont rate my AI606, so id say clifford as my Mums had it on her XR3i and RS turbo, and for roughly the same price they were quality alarms.

my insurance have given me a value of £300 for my alloys and will give me £300 if they get stolen or similar etc. My excess remained the same.. £135.

yea i just wanted to know if it would cost alot extra to actualy claim my alloys as a few people have said if i do crash my car and have other alloys on my insurance will be void so it might be wise to claim them

If its just a plain alarm your after, cobra are brilliant, realiabilty is second to none!

but if you watch the extra's go for clifford, some of the old clifford stuff could be dodgey but new stuff is good, ive got a 650 with intellistart, never a problem.

£300 would barely cover the cost of tyres never mind the rims themselves. Even my cheap n cheerful TSW's on the S2 would set me back £800 to replace with new tyres.
