Mis-matching Wheels Bad Mechanically? Would putting different wheels on each side have any negative impact on the V performance wise?
Ex: Factory seven spoke wheels on one side and then GM accessory split spoke polished wheels on the other side.

It would not. The only difference between the standard alloy and the accessory is the weight. They are both 18x8.5 wheels. The only thing that would is a different tire. I.E. thread width, side wall height, or different kind of thread (directional vs not). Will it be a huge negative impact, not really, but there will be some. It will be more pronounced if it is drastically different. Either way, I would not ride around long that way. Just because it will look pretty damn ridiculous. But not as ridiculous as riding around a one of those stupid donut spares.

Call me weird but you never see both sides of the car and thought it would be different if one one side I was "murdered" and the other side "Cadillac pimpin"
LOL
I know I'll get some haters but I've seen it done on some high end cars.
