different wheels on each side!? Questions here....

So, I've always wanted to do that thing....different look for different side of the car. iForged done so with their demo car and I wanna do it with my tiny beater car. Recently, someone is selling a set of 2 + 2 wheels from different models, but they all have the same width and offset. So, alignment problem is not presented. The problem is the wheels are two-peice and three-peice, so there'd be some weight different.

Will the weight different from each side of the car effect...
1. Turn in .... or even suspension in general ....or anything cuz in a case of the car is passing over a long speed bump, both left and right shock Absorbers would get different impact. I'm afraid I'd run into more problematic situations when it'll become dangerous
2. Drive-wheels....What are the effect from the different in weight on both sides???

Thank you,
POM HB

I've yet to go see the wheels. So, I don't really know the different in weight, but they are 15-inch wheels, so I don't think it'll be too much. Maybe 5-6 lbs? Don't know.
