Got to +1 this one. People interested in chrome are rarely interested in performance by way of weight savings. Chrome is for flash, polished is for dash.

That's a very common misconception. Chrome wheels don't weigh much more than their painted equivalent, the difference is in ounces. It's the fact that alot of wheels that come in chrome finish are crappy heavy wheels, but if you had a chrome volk rim, it wouldn't weigh much more than the same rim in a painted finish.

why not get some HREs/ IForged/ JLines/ DPEs the come in high polish. pretty much same look and they'll be pretty light. or they can chrome them if you wish.

There are alot of 19" forged chrome wheels in that weight range of 25lbs. However these are custom wheels which cost over 3k, not sure if you wanted to spend that on wheels alone.
