I would chose silver painted wheels that are clear coated over chrome simply because I am tired of my chrome chrome wheels plus I want to reduce the bling factor on my silver car. The 4 lbs extra weight does not even enter the equation. Having the wheels clear coated will make the maintenance just as easy as chrome wheels.
u'r correct in the sense that i think silver wheels would look nicer on u'r silver gs....my lips r clear coated polish and i have seen hre's and iforged polished wheel b4 and u can notice the difference. and yes u can notice the hairline scratches.. i inspected a set of iforged polished wheel and the hair line scratches were everywhere.. and in speaking 2 many owners of polished hre's and the owner of the pilished iforged and inmy experiance with my lips polish is much harder 2 maintain than chrome....

the talk about the finish being nicer in polish over chrome i guess is an opinion...not all would agree..so it really depends again on taste.. some prefer silver. some polish and some chrome..the point is that the weight is not really an issue or a big difference which waswhat D was asking at the beginning of this post...
