I avoid chrome wheels on a DD just for practicality. Even the best chrome gets crappy when exposed to road salt, and curb rash is forever.


I'll do a search on kirkevil and see if I can find his thread discussing the weight issue.

BTW, when I went from 235 to 255's on my 96 Camaro, that was just a tire weight increase of about 4 lbs a tire, and I couldn't notice anything.

Thanks.
