Wheel question on a 4cyl

Hello fellow Jeepers,

Today I purchased a set of 15x8 4.5 backspacing TrailMasters TM5 along with some 31x10.5x15 for my 4cyl TJ. At 40$ per wheel I decided to take a leap of faith since I couldn't find any reviews on those wheels. Apparently they are new on 4wd.com.....

Anyway, one thing I took for granted was "unsprung weight" each steel wheel weights 28lbs according to their website. I did find them a bit heavy for 15s once I carried them. My question now is:

Would it affect my ride drastically?
Aka will I loose a lot of power? Loose 5th gear ? I'm sure my mpg will drop as well but I don't mind. Just don't want to cause any damage to the gears/differentials.
