OP here. That sounds bogus unless you are looking at a non-BMW wheel or something that isn't a stock size. I think it comes down to two issues with the dealers: 1) they have gotten used to fattening their margins with wheel upgrades so they don't get excited about swapping same-size wheels because it highlights their crazy pricing, and 2) They will have to stick the stock wheels in inventory and unless they are popular it's probably a break-even endeavor.
I have been upgrading stock wheels and selling via Ebay and CL for a long time. It's good to know that the cost is basically the same. Now I just have to decide how much I want the wheels and whether I'm better off selling the stock ones privately. I've gotten lazy over the years and Ebay and CL can be a PIA with wheels.
