I wish, I already have a car and a truck. There is a clean *** 240 vert down the street I have been eyeing. Would love to scoop it up.
I live the 300zx but for that money you can get a 240z.

^^^ Marcus, dont chrome them - even though its not under-driven (stock size), its still light-weight which helps rotational mass... no point in defeating that by adding chrome. Just polish it out
Caveat; in the whole of things it might not be a real noticeable difference, especially if its decorative chrome plating (which is much thinner and lighter than actual hard chrome) - but still, when someone looks at a lightweight pulley which weight added to it, they may think it's a defeated mod).
The other thing to consider is the pulley is a moving part and more subject to chipping (decorate chrome plating) - stationary parts aren't really an issue (so long as they don't constantly get banged with a wrench)... if it's hard chromium plating, it will hols up, but that's added weight.
So either way, polishing makes more sense (imo)... then again, show judges dont usually consider the things that I do

depends on if it's decorative chrome or hard chrome plating... I'm sure hard chrome will weigh more (much thicker). Both are gonna weight more than no plating of course... how much more? I dont know - but why add weight to a light-weight pulley?
Would most people notice? probably not... but a light-weight pulley dosnt give a ton of gains anyway... however, if you're gonna have a lightweight pulley, there's no point in gaining weight to it (he might as well keep his polished OEM in that case).

Marcus have you ever considered you might have a serious addiction that requires treatment? Might want to check out some local Modaholics Anonymous meetings in your area. 
I can't even look at your bay any more w/o sunglasses and that includes pictures of it.
Looks damn good my friend .

oh and marcus...looks amazing as always my friend...but you really do have a problem. lol
Yes my addiction probably does need treatment.
Wait till you guys see what RRYDE and I have been up to lately. Bay has an even cleaner look. Won't be able to post pics till a couple more parts come in, but here are a couple of parts that are on so far:
Koyo 350z 36mm Aluminum Racing Radiator - (thanks OH6_G35 for your help with this)
Earl's Tranny cooler with braided hoses, Earl's AN fittings, and custom RRYDE bracket. (thanks bigc, OH6_G35 and RRDYE for your help with determining exactly what parts were needed).

Just a bunch of noticeable details that make the bay look a lot cleaner.
Yeah they are blingin' for sure, Randy did a great job on them.
Haha, I wish!
