At this point I just assume whatever I do will void warranty.. makes life a lot easier.
my 2015 camry xse had a special bumper to bumper warranty that got voided for drivetrain/power train because I had BBS wheels on it... the claim was that the car is specially designed for that exact weight of the factory wheel and I have altered the dynamics of the car... I know it’s BS but what am I going to do?
That’s stupid as hell. Kia dealer had no issue warranting my oil pressure switch issue despite wheels, tires, short shifter, chassis braces, etc

I’m sure they would warranty a switch... but transmission, suspension, brake failure etc... void

Brakes and suspension are both wear items and won’t be covered anyway

This was on my camry.. it was a 3 year that covered everything but tires and brake pads. 3 year/130,000 warranty. Custom warranty package and not worth it one bit.
 
Does anyone know how much the GT stock rims weight? From what I can gather, they are 28-30lbs?

Model number is ALY74804
That sounds really heavy for an 18” wheel, although I don’t know the actual spec

Yes they weigh around 28 pounds. Stock wheels are heavy.
Damn. The factory Volvo 18x8s that are going on my V50 are only 24 lbs, and I thought that was heavy! The aftermarket 17x7 summer wheels on my Kia are 18.4 lbs.

Official made for Forte GT part number from Eibach. No more using ES ones. Supposedly more stiff than ES bounce and lower drop than ES ones.
