JGS, I am sorry but I am not sure how much each rim weight since the wheels are already mounted with tires. PM me if you want to know more details. It should looks awesome on the 3 generation GS!

Nice wheels. What's "SBC"? Special Bright Coating? Is it like chrome?

SBC is Super Black Chrome..... it looks like chrome under regular lighting (during day time) but yet not completely shiny like your regular chrome. Under the dimmer lighting, it looks kind of dark like one of the picture shows. It is one of the best finished (personal opinion) ever introduced to the market!!!!

Thank you Eric. I have seen so many set and different JDM wheels now... and not all Japanese Chrome give the same effect.

Chrome

If you think this give you the same illusion, then I think you have to check with your eye dr.

The page you showed everyone was SMB which stands for Super Metalic Black. Now, those do exist.

each manufacturer use different terminology. I guess SBC was used by Speedstar (SSR) and Amistad

http://www.rd-tanabe.com/ssr/collect...lxf/index.html

http://www.canautoclub.com/index2.htm

and Work used to use the same terminology until they change it to WBC. You comment stated earlier that there is no difference on the JDM chrome, but the fact is doesn't matter how they were called by each manufacturer.... SBC, SMC or WBC, they are all the same and they are different than your regular chrome as you admitted there is a difference.
