So I'm talking to my friends and about to show some pictures of the wheels I'm thinking about ordering this week. One of my friends says aftermarket wheels will void the warranty since it changes the suspension. It kinda makes sense if the service adviser is an a$$.

If you have suspension problems or ARS problems then yes. If your trunk won't open then prob not.

Do it. You'll be fine. Just put your old wheels back on the car, before taking it to the dealer, should you encounter problems.
Problem solved. Next!

i changed my wheels.. my service advisor told me he liked them too.. he knows ill put the oem's back on when the lease is up.. i have brought it in for service with my wheels on too. buy wheels, keep them on just make sure you have a nice relationship with your s/a and he/she isnt an asswipe and youll be fine.
OR if your really paraniod jack it up and change em every time you bring it in..
