Wheel and Tire Coverage?

Hi all. - I picked up my car on Friday and was asked whether I wanted to add some wheel and tire insurance.
I have always declined this coverage, but my wife did a bang up job curbing our previous cars wheels.

So I am strongly considering getting some level of coverage. The selling dealer was offering coverage (no limit, no deductible) coverage for $2300.
I did reach out to AAA and they quoted me $2700.
Are there any reputable companies I could reach out to for additional quotes?

TIA

$2300 for wheels alone? Wow! Hopefully I am misunderstanding!
At these nose-bleed premium levels, I would opt to self-insure and just buy a new set of wheels when needed!

You are not, hence why I am asking the question. I was blown away by both offers!! I was thinking max around $1200 which was a very long time ago..
I would imagine one AMG wheel is $1200+. The standard wheel which i had to replace on my EQE was around $1100..

Have you seen this wheel supplier? At the very least it could be a good cross check against the prices you're being charged.
https://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/
Yes - they are in Europe, but I know US-based people on this forum who buy from them because the cost is still attractive even with shipping and import costs.
