New Maxima Rims?

Hey guys,
Just saw a new Maxima tonight with some cool rims on it. I'm pretty sure they were Nissan rims, and they look identical to those found on the BMW 3-series (pic below). Can anyone identify these? Are they optional on the 2002 Maxima?

Thanks,
B

Are these what they looks like? If so they are 2002 Polished GLE wheels.

...The polished ones are stock on GLE... Look below.

2002 GXE: stock 5-point 16" alloys silver-painted
2002 SE: stock 6-point 17" alloys silver painted
2002 GLE: stock 7-point 17" alloys polished

This is the main way how Nissan distinguishes the three models...

IMHO even though Bimmers are not my fav cars they still have the best rims & tires out there (look wise anyway).

Thanks guys, that's it! I saw them on a Maxima at the mall and thought they looked awesome. I've always been a fan of those BMW rims. I have an Acura CL-S now, but who knows what my future may be considering I have a lemon lawsuit going on... long story!

Speaking of rims, anyone know a good aftermarket match for the new A4 Sport rims?
