Default Please Help!!!!

Ok guys, I need some help here. I am wanting to put new wheels on my bike. I am liking the fat spoke wheels. 21x3.5 up front, 16x3.5 on the rear. I have done my research here on the forum. I am seeing a lot of negative on the DNA mammoth wheels. Mostly with air leaks at the spokes. To me seams like an easy fix with a tube like the stock wheels. The big question I have is, is any one having any issues with this wheel coming apart when riding. I would like to go with Ride Wright but the cost is way up there compared to DNA. I know, you get what you pay for but if its just an air leak issue thats easy. KC international has the DNAs for about $380 each. Please input on this, I want to order this next week. Thanks guys there is a lot of sick Deluxes on here.

Sup, stone. Theres a bunch of threads about this. Some guys dont like Dna's, Blcknchrme runs DNA's and they look sick. He Hasnt had one issue. Ive bought 3 sets of regular spokes from DNA. Im gonna order a set of Fat spokes at the end of the month. Goin with DNA also. I cant speak of other guys bad experiences, only my good ones. There was a guy on here who was having problems with A chroming issue with his Ride Wrights. SO, just go with your gut, if you decide to go with DNA's, call Brock at KC INT. Hes a good dude.

Thanks country, I called Brock at KC Int. this morning and ordered my wheels and rotors. I also found a 120/70-21 ww from Vee Rubber. I hope it looks good they were proud of it. I wasnt sure about stretching an Avon over the 21x3.5. He was way helpful. Should get them in about a week and a half. Also putting a butcrack seat on the bike.
