Default 2014 Black Optic Package

I saw that they are offering a Black Optic Package on the 2014 S7. It includes 20" 7 twin-spoke bi-color wheels, exterior mirrors in body color, and high-gloss black package. Any idea of what these wheels will look like? Also, what is a high-gloss black package?

Thanks,

My guesses:

The wheels will look like the current wheels, except they'll likely have painted barrels and spokes, and the faces of the spokes will be polished, or lighter, or something like that.

I'm really hoping that the high-gloss black package means brightwork, like the front grill surround will be black instead of shiny. Same for window surrounds and such.

My plan is to order that package. (I have the titanium package on my R8, and I love the blacked out grill and such)

That would be so nice, I'm just getting ready to blackout all my Window surrounds... they are very distracting

Although Matte Chrome mirrors are nicer than body colour ones IMO

S7 Front Grill definitely needs some attention, it's too disjointed. All Black would be perfect

Here's some shots of the 2013 UK A6 Black edition if that's any help.

I like the smoked tail lights. I assume that, being OEM, they won't suffer from any lumen loss endemic to aftermarket tinting.

Thanks,
Call my saleman today and told him to take the 20" wheels off and put the black optic package on. Never really like the chrome looking addon that were on the mirrors. Hoping the tail pipes will be black also. anyone got a price so far?
