lol chrome isn't going to make a wheel a noticable amount heavier(every once counts j/k) but thats why you buy aluminum wheels.
black fr500s = 20 lbs
can't find spec. for the chrome
but the black are aluminum and the chrome have to be steel to be chromed, so i'm sure the chrome weigh about 10 lbs more
