Pic/Info request: New-er oem wheel

I have been thinking alot about wheel combos to go on my Blazer Project. For those following, I am still leaning toward doing the thing with Rushforth. However before I spend so much, there is another option I have been entertaining and am trying to see the expenses to go this route. But I can't find any info.

I'm looking for a picture of a particular late model Chevrolet truck wheel that seems to be very elusive. I think is was offered sometime from '02,'03-'05. I think I have only seen these wheels on maybe one truck, but I did see it as a top of the line option on the dealer floor at a few different dealerships. I have seen a set on ebay maybe a year or two ago advertised as OEM. My recent searches (last two days) don't turn up anything.

Description:
I am 99% sure it was 20".
It is polished or possibly brushed aluminum.
It is a very simple mesh design. Wide gaps between the few bars. Very flat.
The most similiar wheel that I can think of is like an '02 z06 wheel. It is somewhat similiar to that except bigger, polished, flatter and was less positively offset(had more dish).

upside = *****in' wheel--if I recall correctly
downside = I MAY not be able to do a staggered setup with these. I would have to convert to six lug, but since I still gotta purchase brakes...

I really just need a pic or even name for the wheel, or someone just to verify that I am not crazy--so I can find it/look at it to see if I want to further pursue this route.

Thanks for the help. I am gonna copy this to the '99+ section, where I have already searched to no avail, but only 2 people viewing now, so...I figured one of you guys might know something that I don't.
