Girlfriend wrecked car. Question about wheels & insurance

Glad no one was hurt.

I have purchased repaired wheels before, not for the Z to replace a cracked rim. There is no way to repair cracks or chips for non steel rims. Anything else is repairable within reason. The rims were probably from a totaled car or something and I couldn't tell the difference between them and the OEM ones I already had. Balance and dimensions were all the same.

I went ahead and bit the bullet and bought a set of Matte Black Avant Garde 310's. Eric from GetYourWheels was incredibly helpful and patient with me as I went back and forth with the decision. I'm really looking forward to getting them on the car and I think they'll look really good. I'll just try to sell the damaged wheels as-is. I know I won't make much from them, but any little bit will help.
