the HRE wheels don't qualify as light? they are damn near chrome and look really nice.

If your looking for bling and light weight polished is the way to go. There is no such thing as a light weight chrome wheel.

i'm having a hard time finding info on wheel weight, any site u could suggest??

how much of a trade-off in weight is it polished vs. chrome? And would I feel a performance lag in everyday highway speeds (for me 60-100mph)?

I don't want to chrome it up and then take all the fun out of the Z!

Well, the Black Chrome from Racing Hart is about 18-20 lbs for 19x9 and it not really a chrome plating, it a new paint that they just came up with. Unless you got a Track model with the rays, it will not slow your car at all it should help due to the light weight. Like I said if you need more info just ask brian@racingzoneautohouse.com he is a Racing Hart Dealer.
