B Service Due Now, Should I put stock wheels back on?

It's finally time for B service, not sure what that entails, but wondering if I should throw my stock wheels back on my leased TL. I've heard that dealers sometimes attribute tranny problems to aftermarket wheels, especially if they are bigger than stock. Well I don't have any tranny problems so should I just leave on my aftermarkets? Thankss in advance.

I know this is off topic, why did you mod a lease?

Put the stock wheels back on. I just had my service B done today adn along witht eh oil change the rotate the tires and I wouldn't trust the dealer with aftermarket rims. (if they scratch my car up no way am I letting them tuch my $2,000+ wheels.)

nymalu86- my dealer is Acura of Manhattan

nayyarn- I don't really consider these "mods" mainly becuase it's possible for me to return the car to stock in less than a half hour, and wheels are transferable from car to car

trancemission-yes I do have spinners on a TL

Almost OT: gotta see dem spinnerz

OK, I can't advise about whether to take the wheels off, though I doubt they'd be noted for posterity in the case of some future tranny problem...but c'mon man, let's see some pics (or if you're feeling really giving, video) of those rims!
