Big Thanks to Paul @ RPM Custom!
Paul (HardcoreZ28) at RPM Resto & Custom powdercoated a set of draglites for me. I gave him the wheels in pretty rough shape and he worked some serious magic on these things...Excellent finish inside and out on these... pics really dont do them justice.... Thanks Paul!

did you weigh them before and after? Curious to see how much weight was added to the rim.

I didnt weight them before.
The rears weigh 14 lbs, and fronts are 9 lbs....bathroom scale calibrated with a 30 lb dumbbell  . I guess you could dig up the bare weights somewhere online.

In conclusion, my bathroom scale is magical and powdercoating wheels was a terrible idea because of all the weight 
The rear wheels with tires weigh 33lbs, and the fronts are 21lbs with tires. Even with all that powder weight, it will be a 75lb difference in rotational mass from the replica zr1's and tires I run now...
