It's the same with these aftermarket warranty's. If you tell the warranty company that the E55 needs a front shock, the claims probably not getting paid because they don't cover shocks, but if you call it a strut then VOILA, they pay for a new one.

Spoke to a local shop in my town. He deals with high end cars and this happened to him before where his wheels were in his truck and someone broke the window and took them. He said he will fight to get the MOST possible money from insurance and hook me up with tires only since I already have my SL65s

Got my shop to handle the claim. These wheels new at dealership are $1250/$1300 each for fronts/rears. Shop owner said he will get MOST money out of insurance from them. I already have my SL65s for next year so I will pay those off on my credit card and he is going to get me a good deal on tires. I will be getting a full custom exhaust/tune done also while i am at it. Praying for the best!

Glad you got paid. Still keeping fingers crossed for no undercarriage damage.....bumper from tow/drag cable etc. Check your exhaust tips as well. Had to make contact with it being that low.
Keep us updated and glad to hear things are doing better for you. You were the talk of the family yesterday with the highlight of me yelling "They towed his flipping car....can you believe that!!???"
My kids even asked how you were doing this AM
What a day!

Haha I am glad someone talks about me...I only have undercarriage damage cause some land scaper in my town dropped huge rocks off his truck and I slammed into one and ripped my entire panel off underneath
P.S. Wheels were stolen from INSIDE my car, not off the car.
