#2, 4 or 5. But I'd go with a non-chrome finish if available.

based on my past experience....if you can go with a forged wheel...do that. The reason being is triple chrome plated wheels are extremely heavy and you will hurt your car's performance a lot by going for looks.

How much does that plating weigh?

that might be an extra pound or 2 but the 20" cast wheels is what's going to hurt your performance

Ah. I thought you were saying the chrome makes the wheel heavy. A forged 20" will be light relative to cast 20s but they will still be pretty heavy relative to stock 17s/18s. The stock sedan 17s are pretty light. The coupe 18s are kinda heavy though.

20's will be heavy regardles...unless they are forged. The coupe 18's are definitely a touch heavier than the forged coupe 19's I had. I'm really trying to find a set I like that will clear my BBK and still be light so I gotta run what I have laying around for now . I am goign to look for a set of 18" Z track wheels thats what I would like at this point

IMHO Forged 20s will be heavy period. Maybe some of the very high end 20s are light?

Coupe cast 18s are around 24lbs each. Coupe forged 19s are around 20lbs each. Big diff.

The problem is the coupe 19s oem Bridgestone Re050s are a few lbs heavier than the Michelin sport pilots that come on the coupe 18s. So the total package diff w/ oem tires isn't as much as I'd like it to be.
