Did it, pain to keep clean, in the corners and the tight spots, very hard to keep clean, but it's a third of the price to get them over chrome and they will never flake/pit like chrome can. Just the upkeep is a pain.

I was quoted $275-$300, depending on who I took it too, and an additional $50 to clear coat them. So I went with the shop that had the better reputation and spent $300 and chose not to have them clear coated, the clear coating will take away a little shine.

how much more to chrome wheels weigh? i have never heard anyone deciding against a chrome finish due to weight. surely it isnt enough to discourage you from wanting them unless you are a hardcore racer, in which you wouldnt be using these anyway. i have had chrome and polished, the polished looks good, but not as good as chrome, and is a lot more upkeep than chrome. but its whatever you want. i wouldnt let weight be the deciding factor though

i would guess atleast 10lbs more per rim..
rotational mass is very important.
