Maybe a stupid question! if you change your wheels, does that effect the manufactures Warranty?

thanks

Depends - are the new wheels non-MINI? in the main it would be hard to see what area of the warranty would be affected by different wheels - unless they were a really odd size compared to the norm.

they don't care... my car has been in for warranty work and servicing with non-mini wheels on... The only problem you may have is if the steering is affected by REALLY wide heavy tyres, but MINI put on 18" runflats (with the JCW Wheels) so I don't see it being a problem. :D

The only problem you may have is that if you put big (non mini) wheels on and a wheel bearing went faulty then they might say no to a replacement. That happened to me with a different manufacturer some years ago.
