Will Dealership say anything?

hey everyone I finally got my 20" Sevas S55 wheels. It's been raining here is So. Cal so I haven't had a chance to take pics but I will as soon as i can and post them.
Well my question is... will my 4year 50K miles mercedes factory warranty be voided because i changed the wheels of the car? I'm planning to take my car to dealership next week for a suspension noise.

For wheels? No way. The only way that they can deny a warranty claim is when they can prove that a replaced component caused the damage.

I agree, now if you complain about a rough ride, or steering problems, they will probably blame it on the non oem wheels. I know its to late now, but wheel offset and the weight (heavier) of the wheel compared to the OEM wheel can cause wear problems down the road. Nothing to freak-out about, but something to be aware of.
