I have heard that also, supposedly it has something to do with the way the spokes are treated when they are treated. Just something I remember being debated a while back.
I have some SS MTB wheels that have black spokes and they are solid. Hadleys laced to Atomlab Trailpimp DHR's w/ black DT spokes. Just sayin' I've never noticed any difference in performance or durability. We could probably debate this till the cows come home though.
