Thank you,
Because last time I went in for 5kg service they gave me back a paper work stated no modifications so I'm not sure if I changing wheel will effect my warranty.

Call ahead. Some dealerships are more mod friendly than others

You should be fine with the wheels, ask if they rotate the tires during this service. If they say "yes", you could always ask them not to so they don't remove the wheels if you're worried about them damaging them.

I hate when my wheels have to be removed. One time they scratched my front caliper when they had to replace a TPMS sensor on my V. I so was pissed.

So now anytime it's in for service I make sure my SA inspects my car along with the wheels and calipers himself, with me present so there is no questions if they scratch something again.

I'd only be worried about them damaging your wheels. Maybe take photos prior to dropping it off if you think they may be careless. Regarding aftermarket parts:

http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/articles...ne-maintenance

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnus...s_Warranty_Act

Unless the dealer can prove that your aftermarket parts caused a failure that you're asking to be repaired under warranty, they cannot deny warranty repairs based solely on the fact that your vehicle has aftermarket parts.
