^That's what usually happens, they deduct the price of OEM wheels (which is a huge rip off) from your payout amount. Same thing happens if you give them aftermarket wheels instead of OEM I believe. 
Passed by this accident too :/ Repairs are always possible, just depends if it's worth it or not. You can take basically anything that you didn't purchase the car with lol, which doesn't seem like much from that car. If you have aftermarket stuff then yeah. Why bother taking those wheels and tires though..

they only have like 7000kms of wear on them. He has a set of snow tires from an older civic (his previous car to the accord) that we were hoping to throw on the accord. Oh well, not really worth the effort anyways i guess.

how did the Ranger do that much rear-ender damage in rush hour traffic, not at an intersection?
barely hits 60kph before that stretch where cars are bumper to bumper on the exit
probably wasn't paying attention and flew into the Accord at full speed.

Air bags did not deploy. Apparently the Ford ranger guy didn't even touch the brakes so he ended up hitting majority of the trunk structure and missing the sensors in the bumper by a few inches.

airbags generally don't deploy in a rear-ender

not "not generally", they do not deploy in a rear end collision full stop (unless you are hit and pushed into the car in front of you hard enough)
- reason being, to date, there are no cars with SRS sensors in the rear. front, sides have sensors (in modern cars). reasoning behind this is when you are hit from the rear, your head whips forward then snaps back. an airbag deploying will simply worsen the effect of said whiplash Quote:

Cousin was rear ended by a pickup truck while he was stopped at a red light. Car was only picked up 2 weeks prior and now has a $10k claim on it.  | to put this into context however.. this car was fixed at my shop, and I personally wrote the estimate on it. I referenced the same to ilvtofu's cousin, but because the vehicle was brand new, only OEM toyota parts were available for it. the tailgate needed to be replaced, as well as the end panel, and if memory serves, the tailgate alone was $1000+ for the part alone, before labour or paint. generally speaking, especially on claims that are mostly part re+re, half (or more than half) of the total repair cost is parts alone. in the above case of the prius, parts totaled roughly $6000 - so the actual "repair" cost was only about 4k. one cannot assume all claims are the same, a $10,000 claim that is mostly parts differs immensely from a $10k claim where the frame is twisted and there's a lot of structural damage. again in the case of the above prius, there was zero frame (unibody) damage, purely part replacement and paintwork. being a pearl white 3 stage finish as well, that would obviously also add to the total repair cost. not as simple as looking at the final cost!

what's the standard procedure for icbc estimates? default quote is with oem parts? or with 3rd party parts if available? Is there a way to tell from the estimate documentation or always have to ask/specify?

Yes if the part was replaced with an OEM on the estimate sheet it will have the part number if it's used or aftamarket it will say so. However in the past few years the game has changed and from who I talk to in the industry most use OEM and little to none Used or aftermarket.

^ what he said, however icbc still mandates the most cost effective part. usually that's aftermarket or used as mentioned. however a lot of times oem is the only available option. it really depends on a ton of factors beyond what can be simply explained in one post, but the estimate will always reflect as long as you know how to read it. "replace prepriced" on the estimate means jobber part, replace recycled self explanatory, and a part number where the above words would be means oem
