in the brand new motor trend (october) in the car buyers guide, under the nissan maxima it says

"and new 17-in. wheel designs"

me, being the technical person I am, am wondering is the s on designs supposed to be an s? are we getting some new 17" wheels ? ?

Believe it or not, designs IS indeed correct.

The SE gets slightly new 6-spoke design, which doesn't have centercaps and the spokes are a little thinner.

The GLE also gets 7-spoke wheels, which are very nice looking. Somone on here has a pic of them.

For 2002, GXE, SE, and GLE get five, six, and seven spokes respectively.
