Default axis maglites good for street use?

how do these hold up for daily driving. i really like them, but im afraid that i might just destroy them on a pothole, shattering a rim and all and **** my car up...

my friend cj ran them on his crx as dailys. he had 50 series tires so they had a little rubber to protect them. this was here in wisconsin so there aren't potholes...they are much larger than pots.

My 4 spoke wheels held up to alot of abuse, alot of potholes and bumps. I think they're fine.

I had my maglites for about 8 months in IL. and they show no signs of damage, through drag, auto-x even gravel road driving. only thing I'd say is to have a thin walled 19mm socket the lugnut holes are very narrow, and some sockets rub when you put the mugnuts on and wear on the finsh. just my 2 cents
