I've heard of a few dog dish equipped cars to be shipped with black painted wheels rather than body color too. I know of one 69 Nova SS396 in particular in which the original owner confirmed was definitely delivered to him this way. Probably not the way it was "supposed" to be, but some wheels missed getting painted body color when not being equipped with optional full face hubcaps.

My original "back in the day" 1970 L78 Nova had steel wheels with dog caps and they were black...car was forest green....wish I had that car now...forest green, deluxe bench, M21, p/s, 3.55 open rear, white pinstripes and lots of memories
