Wolkswagen dealership changed the tire/rim on the brand new 2025 taos?

Hi everyone,
I bought a a brand new 2025 Comfortline Taos yesterday from the wolkswagen dealership yesterday. As i am looking at purchasing winter tires today and the tires currently installed on the vehicle are Nankang 215/45 R18, which does not match the factory specifications listed in the owner’s manual or Volkswagen’s documentation for this trim. According to the standard specs, the correct tire sizes should be either 215/55 R18 or 235/55 R18. That's when i noticed they changed both of the factory tires and rims, Additionally, I noticed signs of rust on wheels. Also it says on the purchasing document the KM should be 90 but on mine was 411km. Was this normal on a new car? I called the dealer and he admitted that he wasn't aware until he picked up the car for me yesterday and that he will talk to the owner on Monday about his situation. I am beyond pissed at this situation, i felt like they are scamming customer. I do not even want this car anyone, can I ask to return it or has this happened to anyone else before? What should I do in this case?

Thank you to anyone that can help me or provide some insight!
