I'm looking for 2003 le rims to replase the stock ones on my 2001 le. As i was browsing ebay i found these...[url http://www.ebay.com/itm/4-chrome-nissan ... 500wt_1416][/url] Chrome plated?? i was wondering if this was aftermarket but it continues around the whole thing.

I dont believe those ever came in chrome from the factory. Those right there are 01 LE wheels as per the center caps, 02 SE wheels had the bigger chrome nissan logo in the middle, 02 LE, and 03 LE, had the 17"s, 03 se and i think 04 se, had 16"s but more a more spoked design then the ones on 01-02.

They look nice chrome, but someone got them plated and either a. it was a crappy job, b. they werent cared for at all and it flaked off, but most likely a.

And more detailed, 02 LE 17 wheels came in a titanium finish

03 LE 17 wheels came in an alloy finish

Dont quote me 100% on that because the titanium finish may have been a costlier option and was just included more on 03 LE's?

And 02 se

vs 03 se

Hopefully that helped lol.

I don't know how far you are from Denver, but I just drove from Halifax to Montreal(770 miles) last month for a set of the same wheels and tires you're after. So I understand! Then again, I love a good road trip. Good luck getting the wheels!

According to this website, those rims did come in chrome: http://www.finishlinewheels.com/NISSAN/PATHFINDER/2001/
