This may be true. although it isnt clear on the dealer end, it seems we have to add option code 346 (wheels painted silver) first in order to then have the wheels painted in black. Why? I have no idea. But option code 346 is not available till 12/06 according to PCNA. I hope this helps.

It does, thanks.

My dealer was only able recently to get black wheels selected. However, like you said, the painted silver part is now the sticky point. It'll be okay, but I really love what Porsche has done with the black wheels (silver CL and leading edge), especially on a white car. At least the Ti finished ones have a dark tone to them.
