I have DNAs on mine with about 20k miles. I ride the **** out of it. No issues at all. Im runnin tubes because back when I bought them DNA was having leak issues. I think they have those issues figured out because I dont see any bad vibes on these wheels any more. Even RW had a short bout of issues. The price on the DNAs are good. I would reccomend them for sure.

Thanks stone, ordered a set of chrome 18"/16" mammoths with rotors, pulley, and Dunlop k177 120/90/18 WWW from a local shop for just under $1500. Not to bad I think.

Not bad at all. Just a year ago I was quoted $1400.00 on just a set of Ride Write wheels. You got a lot more bang for your buck with the DNA's.

I was quite happy with the price. Kcint was a little cheaper i think on price but I like supporting local dealers so I went with my shop, it was less than $100 difference for the wheels. Didn't quote a tire with kcint

No issues with mine. I'm running tubeless in the front and it does leak... just kinda the way it is. Keep a tire inflator next to the bike and throw a couple blasts in it every couple weeks.

Had DNA way back and it was sealed and fine until I had the tire changed. Then it leaked like a sieve.

I am happy with my DNA wheels. In my opinion buying more expensive fat spoke wheels is spending unnecessary money. I work at a dealership and a customer just had some of the more expensive wheels put on and I really don't see where the extra money went.

Again this is just my opinion but I think the DNA wheels are a great value.
