My never ending quest to find the wheel for my xB is still going on. Does anyone have the Maglite's except thescionicman that can post some pictures?

EDIT: Is there any other wheel on the market that looks remotly like the Mag. I was wanting to compare some other options, but cannot find any.

-nt :?

Maglites are great wheels, but there is one caveat. I had a set 15" Maglites on my old Jetta, and since there are wide spaces between the spokes, potholes will turn them heartshaped. If you have nice roads, go for it, but if you live in an area like I do, you'd do better elsewhere.

Are you serious? That does not sound good at all, I live in Northwest Arkansas, and the roads are OK, but not the best. If I avoid potholes I think I will be alright.

But if the wheels got bent out of shape, what happened to your Tires? if they bend inward, the tires would not fit right..

Connecticut is notorious for nightmare potholes. If I lived in Florida or California, I'd love the Maglites, but they just lack the strength to hold up to the roads around me. I wish I would have ponied up the extra cash and got a set of Superleggeras.
