Default 2008 wheels

Greetings all. I know the 2008 wheel topic has been discussed here before but I would like to know if anyone has heard if the new spoke type wheel is just an option or are they going to be the standard wheel replacing the current ones.

That dealer option sheet that was floating around had both the split spokes and the 5 spokes available. Who knows for sure, but if my wheel poll is any indication, GM better think REAL HARD before making the split spoke the standard wheel.

QG6-Wheels, 5-split spoke, silver painted
QG7-Wheels, 5-spoke Forged Polished
QX1-Wheels, 5-split spoke Competition Gray

If G M listened to us, they wouldn't be in the shape they're in right now.
