What color you going to go with? I want to do a 23/18 on my Blackline. Please post pics when you do get the wheels.

DNA had a rough go when one of there key builders left.That's the story anyway.Thats been some time ago.Ride Wright was my choice.I personally wouldn't roll a 23..Looks cool but just not enough sidewall for me.
Here's a one with a 23.

DNA built quality has righted itself since its past issues.

Choppershop1 on ebay will get you the best prices on a 23/18 combo. Extremely positive transaction and superb customer service. I had my wheels on my bike 2 weeks before another forum member even had them in at their indy and we ordered at the same time.

23 has plenty of sidewall....mines actually got just as much sidewall as the stock 21 I had on before. The 23 also soaks up road deviations better and seems to turn in better than the 21. The only downside is that tires are twice as expensive.
