Question 2006 GTO Black Phantom Wheels?

Im about ready to go ahead and buy a black 06' GTO and i was talking to the dealership about upgrades on wheels...and the guy told me there was a new option for wheels coming mid-year for the GTO's called "Black Phantom Wheels" or "Midnight Silver Wheels"? Does anybody have any pictures of them??? Or if there's such a thing?

Must be a dealer install, not from the factory.

No, its from the factory. I was looking in the 06' Factory GTO Car Manual and it says in the back, Available Features "Midnight-Silver painted finish available midyear." Does anyone know anything about this?

There was a different 18" rim supposed to be offered for 06, but I thought they decided not to produce them. Check www.ls1gto.com to confirm it.

Well, it's super secret then. It isn't even on Pontiac website.

Available mid-year? That's funny because I don't believe you can even order a new GTO anymore. The deadline passed.
