Hey all, got some good news to share with all of you. Was in the other day at my local Americas Tire Company getting a tire rotation and i asked the sales rep if there are any new wheels out for the new X's and he showed me the MB 72's. Im like sure, here goes another promising wheel that wont fit. I asked him to try it out and low and behold, IT FITS! It was the right bolt pattern and it even cleared the infamous brake caliper by about a 1/4 to 1/2 an inch. Immediately i say sold!! Here are some of the specs for the wheel.
MB motoring 72 16x8.5 12mm BS 6x4.5
They fit like a glove and make on road handling much better due to the 1 1/2 of extra width. They also give my X a more aggressive stance. I wanted them to stick out more and have more of a deep dish look but who am i to complain. Wheels for our rigs dont come easy. Oh Yeah, these are a bit lighter than out stocks believe it or not. Enough yapping, here are the pics to prove it. Ill get better ones tomorrow in broad daylight. OH i forgot to mention, these things will not stay polished for long...BLACK POWDERCOATING HERE I COME!!!!

These look very similar to the american racing mojave except now no spacer is required to make them fit. Hope you all enjoy and sorry if these are old news.
