Default DNA vs. Ride Wright... Solved

Since the DNA vs Ride Wright fat spoke wheel debate will probably never end, I though I would try to help end it for you guys. Midwest/Jireh has been selling this King Spoke Wheel for a little while. I waited for them to make a second run as all this DNA vs Ride Wright battling made me a bit nervous about a first run wheel. Anyways, here it is. Its a $249 wheel and I must say its a stout ****. Well over 25 lbs. Yeah, I know its going on a Dyna and this IS the Softail section but most of those Dyna guys couldn't care less about shiny parts and most of them would take a rattle can to it, but you Softail guys love chrome. So here it is. I'll mount it up and probably post a picture of it mounted in the Dyna section anyways, unless you Softails actually want to see it mounted. At the very least I'll let you know how it rolls down the road.
Neil

What year is your bike? last I heard Midwest still only has those available for 1986-1999 bikes. I can get those too. I am yet to see one in person.

Thanks guys. Drew, my bike has a Paughco Springer. Your information at least for this model and size is correct, but in my case the Paughco's use the 84-99 Softail wheels. I'm holding the wheel right now. Its a heavy, strong wheel and the chrome is nice. The hub if fully chromed as well. Can't wait to mount it up. As long as I don't have a "Peg Problem", I'll be happy as hell.

Please do post the pictures once installed. Hopefully the install goes well for you. That's the real test

Great looking wheels though!
