We have sold Ride Wright, DNA, and American Wire wheels over the years and in our experience the quality of Ride Wright is much more consistent. Also the fitments are usually good with Ride Wright and if it there is an issue they are usually good at taking care of it. Let me know what you are looking for and I will see what kind of deal I can get you.

I've been running them for several years now.Had an issue with the rear hub after a year and a half and they bent over backwards to correct the problem.Had a new wheel in 8 days with follow up calls to see if I was satisfied.Sam and company are stand up people.The wheels still look new after 25k+ miles.Powder coating is dead on with my paint.No spacer issues,completely bolt on and ride.Wish I could say the same with the DNA's I put on the Sportster.G

They are a great looking wheel. I considered DNA's, but the shop that did my work had concerns about their quality and they didn't have the option to powdercoat my spokes white. Therefore, we went with Ride Wright and couldn't be happier.

I really like the look of the Ride Wright Fat 50 wheels, but I'm wondering how much effort it requires to keep them clean. Are powder coated spokes easier or harder to maintain compared to chrome? The wheels look awesome, but I'm not sure I'm disciplined enough to clean those spokes one by one by one... On the flip side, it does seem like radial laced wheels would be easier to clean compared to conventional laced wheels. So... for those that actually own these wheels, how much work is it?

I've got a customer service story for you about Ride Wright.....Happened this week- I've got a buddy who has a '93 FLSTN (old moo glide). Has 15k miles on it, and he hasn't started it in 3 yrs. He decides this week that he's ready to start riding again, and it needs new fluids, battery, all the normal stuff.....He also decides that he needs new wheels. I e-mail RWW for a quote on a set of chrome 50 spoke Fat Daddys. I get a response the following day from Sam. I have another question, so I call him immediately. Jay says "Sam's out of the country. I'd give you his cell#, but it's midnight where he is." Needless to say, I'm very impressed with the customer service. I haven't bought anything from them, but Sam is responding to my e-mails from someplace out of the country, at midnight! I'm a fan.
