Question Insurance premium doubles for upgraded wheels

Hi all,

Looking to collect my M340i next week and been inspired by some of the great looking cars on this forum to look at aftermarket wheels to really make this “my” car.

Thought I’d check the potential insurance impact and filled in an updated RFQ on Go Compare. Premiums went from £450 to £1150 once wheels and spacers were declared! If I removed the wheels and kept spacers it fell to £950.

I’m nearly 40, good postcode, 9+ NCD, private drive etc.

How are people getting the sums to add up on new wheels?

Was looking at 795Ms or 813M replicas, but even OEM wheels would count as a mod and almost all the big name insurers refuse to quote.

TIA!
