Mind sharing what you paid? Up until now I thought that VeeRubber was my only option.
Vee rubbers are TRASH, IMHO. Go with DB, its $100 more than a Vee and it will be perfect. What til Kozy takes the Blue off his, and see what he says.

OK so I am really getting the the wheel itch bad. I am going to a rally the first week of May and I would like to have them by then if I can swing it. So from everyone that has ordered the DNAs and tires to go with them, who has the best pricing. PM me if you dont want to post it but all the info everyone can provide would be really appreciated. BTW, I am thinking of the black rims, spokes with chrome nipples and hubs.

I assume you are talking about going to Thunder Beach early May? Me and my friends will be there also. I have been looking heavily at the DNA 52 spoke for my bike also. I went with HD Mags a year ago and not think I need the spoke look for my Classic. A few sets on Ebay for roughly 750 + shipping.

Yeah I will definitely be at Thunder Beach in May. I got one quote already and I'm waiting for some others. I'm on the fence about doing it now which I really want or waiting. We need to stay in touch and get together for a beer at TB.

Very Cool Kozy, those will look outstanding on your ride! Just curious, did you splurge and go with their bad-*** spoked pulley? I love that pulley but it cost more than my rear wheel.

I found a cool set of chrome rotors and pulley that looks like it matches the spoke wheels. Entire set was about 275.
