I'd really like to see the chrome 278s when you get them. Let me know and we can take some pictures of the two cars. I'm sure the guys over at Ruff would love to see them.
do you know how much the chromes weigh compared to the hyperblacks??? i didnt even think of the weight thing

I'm not sure how much more the chrome wieghs, but if I had to make an educated guess, I'd say another 2-3 pounds per wheel. Again, just a guestimate. I weighed the Evo's and they weighed 32lbs a peice, and the Ruff's were 26lbs each.

But lets be honest, you're not buying 19" wheels for the performance factor, so I say go with the bling and enjoy them. It would be cool to park both cars side by side and have mine with hyperblacks and your's in chrome.

Again, it's up to you.... buy what looks good to you and enjoy.
