I would never even consider purchasing DNA's over Ride Wrights knowing what I know! Had issues getting the rear wheel on without rubbing on the pully side. Sam went way far and Beyond to make things right with me even going as far as putting a substantiol amount of money back in my parket as well as shipping the wheel back to LA and than back to my dealer! That along with their quality and warranty made me a customer for life! IMO, you get what you pay for!

It is few and far between to find people that take care of business after the sale. My money is on teh vendor who takes care of business and I do my best to only sell products that will not give me headaches down the road.

I agree, I'm a busy guy so I don't have time to deal with BS! Like others I'm willing to pay a little extra to eliminate headaches down the road so I can just ride and move on to my next modification!

Is there any other disadvantages to running a tube in a tubeless tire other then if you get a hole in the tire in can not be plugged?

My dna wheels have been great, no leaks or other issues. Nice solid wheel for the money. Buy the right wheel for the tire you want go run. Maybe WW wheels are better but they should be for twice the price.

I've heard the customer service is $hit at DNA...some vendors had hard time exchanging wheels or repairing wheels with DNA... to me you pay for what you get.

I ordered the ride wrights for mine. Got 21" fat daddy engravable and 18" in back with rotors for about $2k or so....
