But those were carbon-alloy rims right

Forget the $500.00 bucks. You were nearly killed. I received $1,500.00 dollars from the insurance company after being doored! You're wasting time if she doesn't pay and will more than likely not have any money since it's the Christmas season.
Trust me. When it comes to giving you money, people become very different people!
