Heavier wheels need more power.....

Hey all. I just got these wheels off a buddy, they are 18 inch M35/45 rims with low pro tires. They are bit heavier than the murano wheels I had on my 2001 I30. I like how the cars looks and drives but I would also like a little more power. Any suggestions/ideas.

What about a 5 or 6spd tranny swap? Maybe even getting the 5.5th gen engine? Everything is about time and money...

Honestly, the Murano wheels look better on your car.

I like the chrome but the Murano wheels did look a little more sporty. Where could I find a Y pipe. Buying a I35 is not an option right now. Got a little one on the way and the I30 is paid off.

Yea, that sounds about right 25-30 each. I think these are a little heavier. Wish I could find a chrome set of I35 or something nice like that. Those arent as heavy.
