Insurance advice help!

Ok, about a month ago i wrecked my car, or well i should say, someone hit my car. In the process two of my rims were messed up, one bent to hell and the other MAJOR curb rash. I got a call from the Nissan dealership saying that they are having problems locating my aftermarket wheels. i want to know, if i tell them i cant find them ( because i got them off a friend ) but they can replace them with a set of 4 stock because i want matching rims, will they offer to replace all 4? my friend told me that they would probably offer to replace all 4 because the body shop cant find my current ones, and to get my wheels to match i will need 4 new ones. Then i can get a price quote on 4 stock 2002 maxima rims ( which are ungodly expensive, from the dealership ) - and then i can go out and buy my own. Tell me what you think of this? will it work? thanks.. oh by the way - pics

How much did you insurance company say the wheels were worth? Maybe you can take that portion of the insurance payment and buy your own wheels.

Usually they give a break down when the appraiser comes out. Ask for a copy.

yeah, but im really hoping to get 4 new wheels, because the worth of those wheels arent going to be enough to buy a new set.

The adjuster may refer to the price that the original set would cost to replace. That is, if the ones that were damaged can't be found (price$$). Talk with your auto damage adjuster and try to resolve it, but make sure you walk away feeling confident with the results.
