I second the FN01R-C. Light weight, looks good, excellent price, and a very good selection of sizes (the only downside to the Rota's) though for Maxima's that not as much of an issue compared to if you were going to put them on a RWD vehicle.

The FN01R-Cs are light.

Take a look here for wheelweights.

if you want cheap 15s. Ask Aaron, but I think they might be 15x6, though.

For 16s, try to find two Mazda RX7 wheels like in this thread:

If you want to spend a little more money (like $125-150/wheel) go to www.centerlinewheels.com

Go to the "buy online" section. This is their factory direct price, so the wheels are pretty inexpensive. I am not sure on the exact price, because you have to call. Before they had prices and most of the wheels they sold were around $150-199 each for 17s.

They have some forged "Storm" 15x7 5 spoke wheels that will probably weigh in at 11-12 lbs and would be good for a set of slicks. I had some 17-inch RPMs (6 spokes) and they weighed 14 lbs. I even put them on a Postal scale at work to double check.
