05 OEM Wheels vs. NSX-R OEM Wheels – Is it just a color thing?

Well I finally found the wheels I was looking for only to find the finish I wanted had been discontinued. So one of the options mentioned was to have the new wheels painted. I think there is a place in town that specializes in this. I think they repair and change finish.

But now I’m thinking that if this is an option, perhapse I should change my 05 OEM Wheels to white. In the pics I’ve seen of the NSX-R OEM wheels. The finish and some lettering seem to be the visual differences. Does anyone know how similar these two wheels are?

TIA
 
I think the NSX-R wheel is lighter but im not positive.
 
The weight of the NSX-R front wheel is 7.4 kg (16.3 lbs)
the rear is 8.0 kg (17.6 lbs)

The wheels of the NSX-R are definately lighter than the standard wheels.
But not much.

championchip white code is NH 565

That's because white paint is "lighter" than silver. :D
