For those balking at the price, OP is paying between 20 and 40 dollars per month for managed on-site storage after you factor the 1-2 hours of dealership labor per year to do the wheel swaps. A 5x5 climate controlled unit near me is $15/mo, but I'd have to deal with shuttling wheels around.

Each to their own. I swap my own tires. I enjoy doing it. Gives me a chance to clean the calipers and inside the bits you can’t otherwise get to. My rims also get the luxury spa treatment before going back on and a coating of Rejex and that makes them much easier to maintain through the season. I also don’t have to worry about how they are being mounted, stored or torqued. My garage currently has 2 x summer sets that I will need to swap over soon on the cars. $700? What a rip off.
On the flip side I take my car to the dealer for an oil change, which some of you will find equally ridiculous.
Do you, as they say

Update:
Well, despite asking not to have my 5w50 changed, they changed my oil, the 0w40. So much for getting another Blackstone report. Ugh

I called the 3 nearest Porsche dealers to get a quote on a new battery installed. The results were $680, $880, $1167 out the door.

Someone else wore your tires out for you.

Tire Rack has a mobile service called ASAP Tire. I schedule online and they show up at my house and do the summer/winter wheel swap. It runs $50 per visit and I tip the guy $20. If you have space to store your seasonal set this is very convenient.
