Depends if it is polished first (to give that nice mirror effect). Spoke to a frame builder the other week about chroming and depending on who polishes it, they might actually remove more material than is replaced by the chroming process, so theoretically, it could be lighter.
But I doubt they would be very well polished if the chroming was done purely for protection, so would probably.
