AutoKnight Tire n Wheel Insurance!!!

So, after replacing 5 Goodyear excellence due to bubbles (the last 2 was my fault coz i hit a pothole) i found out that my passenger side front & back rims are bent so my SA called the autoknight and they said they wont replace it because "It's not leaking air" as in unable to seal between the wheel and the tires as written in this form
(look at #2 fine print)
http://n.b5z.net/i/u/8000131/i/Auto%...am_Outline.pdf

I called them up and i told the guy "you know i can just run over more s#it so that it cracked and in that way u'd replace it" but he still wont replace it

So, if you do have AutoKnight for ur T&W insurance, if you hit a pothole make sure u hit it reallll gooooddd so it'll crack and u'd get ur rim replaced no problem

now I'm left with 2 bent rims and i cant buy new ones since i just paid a Vet bill (due to a hit n run on my dog)

has any1 replaced their rims through autoknight that care to share their experience or "loophole" for this issue?

I had this same issue when I bought my M35 and got the extra insurance through the dealership. Hit a pothole and bent the wheel badly. Fine print on back of warranty form said that they would only cover wheel if it failed to seal with tire. Apparently having a giant bent wheel is not covered unless you lose the seal.

So I proceeded to take said wheel/tire off the car and repeatedly pile drive it sideways into a 2x4 until it didnt seal anymore and then called warranty and had my $1500 Asanti wheel finally repaired
