Would you lose some wheel power at low end?

You won't necessarily lose power. Your car will have more rolling mass and unsprung weight, however, which will effect performance.

I'm gonna go the other way. They don't look terrible by any means. I think they'd look a lot better on a KH3 or another darker color. I love the design though.

I think they look great on this gen my only concern is how much those bad boys weigh they must be real heavy I'm guessin somewhere around 30 lbs. Its a total performance killer big n heavy = no good in my book, but if its looks you're goin for they're a definate win, real sexy, especially on black or blue.

That looks wrong. Just... well, wrong. I don't get how swapping factory rims for other factory rims could look right on any car.

Not intending to show my age, but it's like seeing Pontiac honeycomb rims on a Camaro.

My point is, it doesn't belong.

Meh, to each his own. I think these would look great on a 5th gen, as long as it were a dark color. A lot of people on here put Infiniti wheels on their maxima's and the majority of the time, they look great. Wheels are so subjective, you can't please everyone every time. Oh well.

Yup. Pride of ownership is more valuable that someone else's opinion. I really should have tagged my comments IMO.

They are heavy. Dont buy them for the weight. Buy them cuz u like the look. performance is generally felt when you're out of a dig. The lighter rims give you slightly better initial acceleration.
