How much weight is added to a set of factory Speedline C5 Z06 wheels when they are chromed?

Thanks,

I'd be surprised if it was even 2 lbs./wheel.

I'd be horrified if it was anywhere close to two pounds per wheel...

Thank you! I knew someone around here would have the answer, and I can certainly live with those numbers.

There was a guy selling a set of chromed GM Speedlines in the sale section yesterday for just $650!

It was on the first page, act quick on that deal, the pics looked great, had just one chip from a minor curb touch. Awesome price.

If you want your own set done, calchrome is a great place (the best) but pricey.
