Consider that I purchased my new 2013 VW CC 2.0....partly because it looked good with the V6 model's wheels on it. It stood out from the rest of the other 2.0 model wheel designs. The V6 model from which they sourced the wheels from they installed 20 inch aftermarket wheels.
In essence any car salesman with an average sales IQ can leverage a Sport or Touring with 19inch GT wheels as an added incentive to sell it. Meaning it could be easier to sell. I mean haven't you guys ever seen 1 or 2 slightly modified models on the lot with decals, a lip kit, or aftermarket wheels?
Yes I have seen those cars with the dealer add ons. Typically I have seen that those are done to the "bad color" car that has been on the lot a long time. Or there is damage that leads to the add-ons such as new wheels to replace a curbed wheel, a front lip to cover that scraped front air dam, a sticker to cover that scratch, etc..
There are however a few dealers that do happen to do the dealer add-on mods right, and there are some that might also help with a wheel swap like shaendra is after, but they are few and far between.
