slightly different weight wheels on one side of car?
i found a pretty good deal on a set of rims but one entire side is a different rim than the other. i'd say about couple lbs difference from one side to the other.
both fronts and both rears are same sizes and offsets tho.
can this work?

I've seen cars with two different style wheels on each side. I think for a bit it was "the thing", but never caught on. Pretty ricey. Also saw like some TE37's which were blue on one side of the car and silver on the other - but that's the same wheel, not a totally different one side-to-side.
As long as the wheels are the same size with matching tires I don't think it will actually harm anything (diff/vdc whack).

both are ten spoke, but one has the fake rivets, other one doesn't.
i just wanna make sure it won't throw off diff/vdc like amateuRN said.

As a follow up to this. Im about to put a same size/width/offset wheel on my right rear as I damaged the other, but the new wheel is like 5 lbs lighter than the other 3. This is only temporary (few weeks) till the damaged one gets fixed.
Any negative effects of this? Car might pull? Wont damage LSD? Lighter wheel will slip first?
