OK the Bentley dealer here had one a couple years ago and he started it up and played with the spoilers and suspension for our benefit.
I'm pretty sure he said it used something like onstar to say it needed new tires and the wheels were only good for something ridiculous like 20,000 miles.
This is all I could find in google

The main reason for the great expense, Autocar explains, is the fact that they have to be capable of 253 mph: “over 100 mph faster than Concorde’s landing speed.” However, according to the report, what’s worse is that every fourth tire change (assuming you can afford to run the car that long) the Veyron’s wheels have to be stress tested for cracks. The replacement cost for these 20-inch forged wheels is said to be another $11,544 each.
According to Autocar, a standard service for the Bugatti Veyron costs $21,069. So when you factor in a set of four new tires and one replacement wheel, a complete service could realistically cost a whopping $71,092.
