it doesnt hurt to have your car stay on jacks, just make sure they're sturdy..

IMO, i would just get the aftermarket rims first.. much much MUCH easier that way..

Hopefully you don't buy rims that are special order than My Work rims took 3 months to arrive...

But to answer your question, some of the "hardcore" guys, actually recommend putting a car up on jackstands when storing the car for more than a month, to prevent flatspotting on the tires... So it should be all good...
