He might notice them and void his claim and then he'll get a big bill from the council for the sign.
He might notice them and think they didn't cause the accident so ignore it.
He might not notice.
NONE of us know any of that. It might depened on whether he had a row with his wife in the morning before or he left vs her sucking him off as to what he does.
But for the doubters saying it won't ever happen.. read this..

Shut up you div
I think in all honesty lots of people are trying to make you aware of the facts, not be inconsiderate. Saying you thought it was okay to have undeclared alloys on the car beuase they were 15s or that you " thought it came like that as standard" are unlikely to be accepted by insurers who don't WANT to payout. They will use anything they can to avoid paying out on the policy. You might get lucky the assessor might not notice them, but then again the assessor might and then you will have a crash damaged car and possibly a bill from the council for the lamp post that the insurer won't pay for and you will. They are only trying to help you out, however you don't have to take their help and you can carry on as you are if you wish.
Here's my experience of my claim, had a full exhaust system on my car and 3 points I hadn't told them about and Churchill still payed out. The guy came to my house and asked for my licience and I said I had 3 points undeclared and he said no worries. Lol points came after renewal though. Mine wasn't repaired though so dunno if extra checks are done if your car is repairable.

I'd not go through insurance. I'd do something like sir dave said. If the subframe is ok, its only panel damage/and a few bolt in things. Be cheaper to source 2nd hand parts.....
Also this whole alloy thing is way out of proportion imo. I work with a lad who a few years ago had a boggo 1.2 Clio. It was lowered, aftermarket exhaust/alloys. Cut a long story short he ran over some (chav)..... up the bonnet bent the roof etc. Chav was ok, so the CS PC police can sleep easy. Anyway, full pay out. Mods not declared. I also had a Punto GT that back in the day was lowered, full scorpion system. Bent the rear quarter backing into a lamp post. That also got repaired. Go figure? The Cup is fully declared btw

I know a guy that lost £13k on a CTR because he didn't declare stuff, iirc he's still paying it off.
I spoke to a girl last week who is paying off a 4k car loan with no car now after writing off her 206 with non standard alloys wheels.
As Revels said it might happen, it might not.

There is no getting away from the fact it just isn't worth gambling for sure.

Not a gamble i would want to take! Thats for sure.
I would never gamble on it.
Funnily enough that girl I spoke to the other day had a set of after market wheels in the back of her new car.
Obviously she has not learned all her lesson as she obviously swapped them after the accident and then put them in the boot!
She already pissed 4k away and now she's not declared another set to the insurance!
Ah Woman Logic!

I can't see an insurance co. not paying out just for having the non OE wheels, after all they are Renault ones and would probably been an option/accessory when the car was new. Any subsequent owner would not know this. If there were some other mods that were obviously not a Renault made part then the insurance co. would have some questions to ask, but again they can be put down to a previous owner and you bought the car unknowingly. Go through the insurance Hussain , you'll be ok.
The olde I didn't know they were standard doesn't wash as much anymore, maybe 5-10 years ago but no these days.
There are also not Renault items.
The OP has already admitted to knowing they were non standard but because they were the same size he thought they would be fine.

He could stick some Renault badges on them and in all innocence assume they are Renault's. He hasn't had the car very long I believe, not a problem then. The most that could happen is the insurance co. would not pay for wheels to be repaired. It's hardly a performance mod on a 1.2
It's nothing to do with it being a performance mod.
You didn't insure your car with those items on it, therefore it's void. In black and white.
Although if they are in a good mood they will let you pay the additional premium for the months/years you have been inusred with them.

When they pay out, they'll end the policy. (They did to my g/f) You'll then have to get a new one, with a claim. $$$$!!!!

Do a couple of online quotes; one without a claim against you and one with. Pretty sure it won't be tenfold or anything like it.
