Batter/Alternator warranty
"Batter/Alternator Go to WorkShop" light turned on my car.
Would Warranty cover this for me?
And do anybody know if they void your warranty if you change the rims?

You are asking two separate questions.
Warranty covers specific components. They are not going to cancel your full warranty because you changed to purple light bulbs.
Read your warranty fine print carefully.
If you have an alternator problem, then warranty will fix that component alone, assuming you didn't do anything (aftermarket) to specifically mess with the alternator.
Rims, H&R springs, etc... is not going to void the suspension part of your warranty, unless those specific components caused some sort of damage to your original manufacturer suspension components. However, the burden of proof is on you.
Again, read your warranty and understand it.
