I just completed the process with hdwheels, all I can say is if you can afford the extra $, forget the ebay bull crap !!

The hdwheels team are good people with top notch stuff, and they make a wheel that will bolt right on, zero problems.

As for DNA, bunch of dipsh*ts ! First of all their wheels will only fit 06 and older. If you read through my thread above you can get all the details.

The latest is the process Im enduring to get my refund back from them. I called for three days trying to talk to the person in accounting that would credit my card back. Each time I called, about 5 times a day, she was on break. I lost patience with it all and my sweet wife decided to take over. She got the same run around for a day, finally she talked to the general manager. This ***** told her he was running the card right then, even asked for the the card number. Three days go by, no refund to my account ?? Wifey calls again, this time the receptionist told her that the GM was shining her so she would quit calling and that he never ran the credit back through. After another half dozen calls, she got through to someone in accounts payable that told her that someone had processed the refund the day before but that they had done it in two payments, two at 455 bucks ?? Well I got one credit, three days have gone by and I have yet to see the second one.

My advice, stay away from DNA and save yourself some heartburn.

I've had DNA's for over a year now. They fit perfect and are as high quality as any other.

+1, same size as mine. hdwheels makes a 17x6.25, but only in 40 spoke. i went with the 18x5.5 because i bought the front in 60 spoke beforehand.

jkeeton, my experience was great. I made one phone call, three days later the wheels were on my bike. Granted, they are in So Cal, but they opened up shop on a Saturday, mounted my tires, balanced them with Dyna Beads, and away I went. Just talk to Andrei ( a little hard to understand, he has a thick Russian accent ) let him know what you want, no fuss no muss.

I have heard from many that the DNA wheels are of good quality, but if you have one single issue, good luck.
