The shell structure of superheavy nuclei is investigated within various parametrizations of relativistic and nonrelativistic nuclear mean-field models. The heaviest known even-even nucleus {sub 156}{sup 264}Hs{sub 108} is used as a benchmark to estimate the predictive value of the models. From that starting point, doubly magic spherical nuclei are searched in the region Z=110{minus}140 and N=134{endash}298. They are found at (Z=114,N=184), (Z=120,N=172), orat (Z=126,N=184), depending on the parametrization. {copyright} {ital 1997} {ital The American Physical Society}
