Since it only looks like one wheel is messed up, order one now, along with 2 sets of tires for the back. If the insurance company ask, tell them dont worry about paying for the rim becuase you already got a new one because you HAD to drive the car, tell them to just fix the body damage and your bent axel that your 10 bolt prolly now has.

I was just trying to make the point that there is no need to try to screw anybody. Everyone wants something for free, but it ends up costing someone in the end.
