As a vendor I have some info to share with you. I used to sell DNA wheels until I sold some to a guy who had a WG. The wheel was off center (wrong size hub) and they (DNA) refused to find a fix for it. I ended up with a a really upset customer and a very bad taste in my mouth from DNA and their complete lack of desire to make this problem right. I have had some other customers who ordered DNA's and experienced chrome flaking almost immediately after install. that was when i cdecided no more DNA products. they are affordable which is great, but there was almost always an issue. It was not worth my time trying to get them to fix the problems as they are impossible.

Ride Wright on the other hand is another story. There has been an issue or two as well, but they quickly resolve any and all issues as a company should. They are a pleasure top dela with which makes my life so much easier.

As far as size, for a 160 rear get an 18.4.25.

From past experience I'll stay away from DNA stuff from now on, I suggest the same for anyone else unless you like flaked chrome and rust...

If you want to run a 180 tire on the rear, I would go with a 18x5.5" rim. Fat spokes & big rims look sick!

Yeah that pic of blue is the only pic I have seen on the net. That's why I asked cause it would seem like there would be more pics floating around. I guess fat spokes and dyna just isn't wide spread
