Default Correct XT Wheel color for Fathom Blue

Im restoring my 1970 Nova with the XT stock steel wheels and need to know If the Fathom Blue cars had the rims painted the cars original color or were left Semi Gloss Black. All the Fathom Blue 1968 & 70 Novas I have seen in pics either are too dark to tell or they are fitted with Rally, Magnums, Mags or full size hubcaps. It seems alot of the 68 Gibb/Harrell Novas were Fathom Blue with stock steel wheels but cannot tell if they are Blue or Black. It seems if you ordered the 1968-70 Nova and maybe 71-72 with ZJ2 lower double chrome strips on a dark color the rockers and lower portion of rear quarters were not painted black. Seems that there has been simular situations on 1969 BB Camaros with the Black painted taillight panels on dark colored BB Camaros and 66 SS Chevelles. I know this is a different animal but could be a way GM saved time and money Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Again
