I'd like to go check out a set of Hurricanes but there isn't a dealer within 100 miles that has any. What the heck is a person to do, buy online and hope they are ok?
Cambria Bicycle Outfitters - Paso Robles 244 miles.

The manufacturer will sell to any legit Dealer , figure out what you want,
then have the LBS call them up. ist order will perhaps be COD, or 30 day net.

So when I buy a new bike and they don't carry them they can still order them for me?

Well the first question was about a component, which the manufacturer should sell to any dealer. Now you are asking about a brand of bike and that is different. Most bike manufacturers will sell only to an authorized dealer.

What I'm trying to ask is when I buy a bike and don't like the wheelset and don't like what I see they stock then will/can they order what I want like a set of Hurricanes or something from Rol?

(reading between the lines and guessing,) you mean you, generally, like the bike ,
but don't want the wheels the Manufacturer packages
with the bike?,
and wish for a 'take off' trade in credit, and to special order a set of wheels
built up by the American Classic Company ?

If it were My shop, I don't see where that will be a problem... it'll cost Ya ..
[No, IDK how Much]

Ditto Rolf, another high end low spoke count wheel manufacturing company.

(I'd hang the stock wheels on a peg in the garage, and have a backup
for when I crashed and broke my #1 wheel set)

Now that might be good advice. I'm really hung up on either the Rol SLR or the hed ardennes cl or the american classic hurricaness. All with weight limits of 225 or better. I'm only 205 so all should be safe.
