02/03 Maxima Wheels

Anyone know how much the 2002-2003 GLE and SE wheels weigh?

Tried a search, but for some reason it wouldn't let me!

Thanks.

Wow, 52 pounds including the tire!! That seems heavy.
Even if the SE's were 25 pounds just for the wheel, that also seems a bit heavy.
There are aftermarket NICE looking 17 inch wheels that weigh 18-19 pounds and don't cost that much.
Losing 7 pounds of unsprung weight from each tire would surely make a noticeable difference in performance.

Hey, noticed that the Sentra SE-R Spec V's 17 inch wheels weigh 24 pounds EACH!! Wow, why would Nissan put such heavy wheels on that car? It's performance is a bit of a disappointment as it is, considering the car's weight, 6 speed tranny, and claimed hp. It could do so much better with wheels that actually weren't like turning boulders!

Thanks so far guys, I'd really like to know what the GLE's wheels and/or tires weigh as well. Any other help out there?
