Now this is speaking of stock maxima wheels

Vehicle Wheel Size Approx Wheel/Tire Weight Curb Weight Adjustment from 16"/42 lb Adjusted Curb Weight
3rd Gen 15" 40 lbs. 3100 lbs. - 64 lbs. 3036 lbs.
4th Gen 15" 40 lbs. 3000 lbs. - 64 lbs. 2936 lbs.
4th Gen 16" 42 lbs. 3000 lbs. n/a 3000 lbs.
5th Gen 16" 42 lbs. 3200 lbs. n/a 3200 lbs.
5th Gen 17" 50 lbs. 3200 lbs. + 256 lbs. 3456 lbs.

A 3100lb 3rd Gen effectively becomes approximately 3036lb. A 3000lb 4th Gen with 15" rims becomes approximately 2936lb. The 4th and 5th Gen models with 16" rims maintain their respective 3000lb and 3200lb curb weights. However, the 5th Gen with 17" rims takes a whopping 256lb hit to its effective curb weight.

the look is well worth it

[EvilSinisterGrin]It's not worth it to have the 5th gen wheels. So sell them to Jeff.[/EvilSinisterGrin]

I've done some weight reduction, stage II, on myself for the last 1 1/2 months...so I think your rims/tires will even the weight out.

Damn that sux.... that really makes me rethink 5th gen wheels... i was going to get them because they would look good and not add much weight... obviously this is not the case....

I dont think 5th gen wheels look good.

Exactly, as long as you like it and you get compliments.
