Do different wheels create warranty issues?

Doing a bit of tweaking/enhancing on my turbo s.
First job should be getting some plastics painted body colour and black gloss.
Also considering some new wheels, not as a replacement but as a swap option I.e summer/winter, something I've done in the past that just keeps me happy.

Anyway, somebody said the bbs re mtsp are good but I was also thinking of other options such as hre but I'd really welcome any suggestions here. Need to be centre locks of course and size 20". Looking for silver and would be delighted if I could pick up a decent used set with tyres. 😀

So the question that I have is, if I swap wheels for non Porsche, is there any way that it create warranty issues with anything else that could go wrong with the car down the line. I know different wheels won't cause an engine fault but let's say suspension problems or brakes, could Porsche use this as a warranty escape - I know it seems far fetched but.....

Look forward to your opinions please.

I can't see this being a problem. Worse case, just put your original wheels back on before visiting the garage.

The more difficult issue could be finding somewhere / someone with the equipment to remove your centre locks. Unless you can do them yourself? :dont know:
