Default ultima wheels?

Anyone got any untima wire wheels? Anyone know of any issues with them? I am looking in to getting a pair and want to know the good and bad.

I am running the Ultima King Spoke up front. The wheel itself is a fantastic piece. Well built and heavy as a house. Check the bearings before you install. The grease job they did was less than pathetic. I repacked mine and have had no issues at all.

Ultima products are great for guys who know how things work. For example as shown on here many of times. You can save a **** ton by buying a big inch Ultima motor but for the best result do a breakdown and insPect before running. I just baught a six speed tranny from them and tore it down and it was flawless except for the powdercoater job. So the point is the final assembly might be that great and painting and powder might not be that great but with the lower cost and some time spent checking you could get a good overall product
