Default Rims question

I tried calling my salesman today to ask this but he left for the day already and wont be back in until Monday so I will ask here first. I have on order a XLT 302a which will come with 18 PVD wheels as per the Chrome pkg. I really like the sports wheels and wanted to ask if it was possible to have them as a dealer installed option. I used to sell Ford trucks for a couple years in the 90s and never had a client ask me to do this so am wondering if dealers do it.... I know it is an open question whether my dealer will or not even if others have had it done. Any feedback would be appreciated for anyone who has done something like this

First pic is photo shop image of what my truck will look like after the mods I plan to do with the PVD wheels second pic is with the sport pkg wheels

If you pay for it I'm sure they will. But finding a dealer to do a swap with another truck in love lot will be tough. I had a dealer do it for me once but that was in 1996, tried when I bought this truck and they wouldn't touch it even though I wanted the 18" instead of the 20" wheels.

Mine ordered had 20" I made it a condition of sale for them to put on the 18 sport rims like you want. They said it was no big deal as they as always putting lifts and bigger tires on so they would find a donor.

I bought some 2018 SE pull-off over Ebay. Think I paid $800 shipped, not cheap but much less then over the parts counter. They look like they were pulled off the truck with zero miles. Still had the stickers on them like the truck was never prepped.

The black you’re seeing around the edge is the gap between the lights themselves and the body of the truck
