Drew, Before I ordered these mammoth wheels I did a ton of looking here on the forum. The only issues that I saw that people posted was air leaks. That was back in 08-09. So I just figured running tubes. I didnt see any other negative imput other than wheel spacing. Plus they are a lot less expensive than the other fat spoke wheel manufactures. Now hopfully DNA will give you better service so you can offer this as another option to us Harley owners. Good luck.

Agreed!........Yep thats the just of it..... Run tubes with these wheels .... and its not a big deal get new spacers.
Before i decided to buy mine i looked and looked... searched and searched.... 99% or so of the problems were air leaks and some spacing... and about 2 or so guys with bad powder coating/chroming.....
Yeah Blck, and when you sell thousands of wheels your goin to have an issue from time to time. I did the same thing, I did the research and even talked to people on here who have them, and Im sold, goin with DNA fat spokes. Ive already bought 3 sets of regular Dnas with NO probs. CMON SPRING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I wish it were only a few out of thousands, but that was not my experience. I think i sold 10 sets one week and half of them had issues. That is far too problematic for my taste. I hope none of you guys have issues and wish you all the best. Our problems were spacing and chroming as no one had the wheels long enough to see if they leaked. LOL.
Hmm I talked to my Indy friend today and told him I got the rims and tires coming in but since I'll prob have to do spacers I wanna do it down at the shop so I can deal with the suprises. So I told him I gotta find some tubes and he says... "We've been putting a bunch on a lot of Luxes and not one leaked??? It's a gamble I guess... I'll leave up to what i can find before the time comes... We'll see
