Most dealers won't do anything for you if you want different wheels. However, some have included a wheel swap with the purchase price. You would need to buy the wheels separately (hopefully at a discount) and take off the 3.0 ones when vehicle arrives. The wheels should fit with no problems.
If price is an issue, you could always wait a few months for replicas to come out. Because the e70 is so new, it may be after summer before any aftermarket stuff becomes available.
