I just phoned them and told them the alloys had bubbling on the leading edges.  They arranged an appointment for a few days after, telling me to wash the wheels before I came in.  I did that, they took photos of each wheel and sent them to Hyundai, then phoned me a week or so later to say the new wheels were in and booked me in for the change.

No resistance at all to it being warranty work.

Yeah I literally had two weeks of my warranty left when I phoned them.  It seems to be that as long as you still have warranty left when they take the booking to change them (not the change itself, that can be later), then it's fine.  In the end, I booked in for the change 2 days before the warranty expired.

Yep, changed all four.  All four were corroded though so I don't know if they'd do all four if only one was damaged.
