Alignment without holes

How does one get an alignment done with wheels that do not have holes drilled in to them as pictured below? My steering angle is off, but the dealer said they can't fix it with my aftermarket rims attached since there aren't any holes.

Neither picture are of my rims, but my aftermarket ones are F14's from Forgestar.

Don't go to a BMW dealership for alignment. You can use any reputable alignment shop.

That is what I figured. But the car was actually delivered with the steering wheel slightly off center to drive straight. Dealer said only way they could fix it would be to put donor wheels on it, do the alignment and then put my rims back on for $$$ since my wheels don't have the necessary holes.
