as long as they are legal rims with legal tires it wont be a problem in changing them. best to let the insurance company know about it though, if your ever in an accident and they dont know about the new different sized wheels, they will argue that they could have been the reason for the accident and refuse to cover you. :) the worst that will happen by telling them is, they may not cover the entire value of the rims if they are damaged or stolen.

Yeah you are always better off telling them. An extreme example is a friend of ours had a heavily modified beetle, pulled up to a stop sign and had a postie run into the side of him on his bike. Instead of pay for the damage, Australia Post paid an engineer to go over his car and look for a way out of it. They found that he had re drilled discs on it, which is pretty much essential to run a nice set of wheels on a bug, and argued that the car was un roadworthy. Because of that he had to pay for the hospital bill for the postie and was out of pocket for his car even though he wasn't at fault.

So definitely tell them :)

if ur with just cars they will put an extra excess on for your wheels. so it doesnt affect your normal premium just has a seperate excess

did this with mine, and its just a $300 excess or something, and my wheels are pretty expensive

it is so much safer to tell them all. I had my 180sx stollen last year and cause I had changed the mags without telling them (i put a cheaper pair on for a cruise) they bailed on the insurance altogether and didnt cover a thing. was so not cool.

so yeah I would tell them.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
