Default Stock 06' wheel performance comparison

I have an 06' Base 350Z with stock rims. I really like these wheels and have no intention of switching them out. Spacers and a 1' drop are the only modifications I am making to the appearence and stance of the vehicle. I consider them to be an excellent design. Does anyone know how they compare performance wise to aftermarket wheels of the same size? OEM is not always great but Aftermarket isn't always better. Example: 06' Intake


Thanks!

So what stickers would render the best whp gains? I heard if I do an entire graphic kit, I should see anywhere between 12-60 whp. After I added a Nismo decal I received about 20. I have to go to Japan now. My friend lil bow-wow is going to introduce me to world of underground street racing/drifting.

What is the purpose for the comparison? Are you planing on tracking the car? The stock wheels weigh around 24 lbs a piece. If you are just going to cruise around and want the looks only, then i suppose you can get spacers and get wider tires.
