Wheel weight...?

I know that this is more of a tire/wheel forum question but since it is related to my 2003 Maxima i decided to ask it here ....

Does anyone know how much 17" wheels from 2003-2005 350Z weight? They are 17x 7.5 and 17x8.0. Are they much heavier than our 17" Maxima SE wheels. (17x7)

I can get a set from 350Z driver, with tires (Michelin Pilot Sport A/S) instaslled and balanced for $190 total for all 4. Now the question is.... are these wheels much heavier than mine?? I don't want to slow my car just because of "looks".
The reason i am looking at these 350Z wheels it their capability to wear wider tires.... 245/45/17 and etc. But i don't want my car to do 0-60mph for 8 secs either. What do you think? Anyone has experince with the 17" wheels from a Z? I read that the 18" are quite heavy.

Thanks for any replies.

Wow!!! Thank you! This is a great source of info! That's all i needed.

350Z Wheels
Standard 17":
Alum Alloy
F-17x7.5
23.259lbs
R-17x8
24.140lbs

Looks like the 17" Z wheels are not that heavy, or at least they are NOT heavier than my 17" Maxima SE wheels. Good news! I should get them!

Thanks again!
