Painting wheels voids warranty?
Does anybody know how strict they are with the warranty? I painted my wheels with rubber spray and am wondering if I have to take it off before i bring my car in to the dealer for any reason?

Only if you are bringing it in for an issue with the factory finish or something like that with your wheels. I suppose if you brought it in for a tire balance issue they could try to blame it, too.
You're fine, otherwise.

Unless it can be proven that something you did (or did not do in the case of maintenance) caused a failure of a component, the warranty cannot be made void.
Also, the only real way to void the warranty on the entire car is to total it and have the title salvage branded.
