Default American Wire Wheels

I've been looking at AWW's radial 80 spoke wheels for my RKC. The web site says that the 16" and 18" wheels are sealed so that a tube is not required. Anyone have experience running these without a tube?

I tried the 80 spoke wheels on my 04 Ultra that I had.
Yes they are tubless....But the spokes kept breaking on the
rear wheel...Dealer exchanged the rear 3 times before
refunding the money. Nice wheels but just didn't work
on the Ultra for me.

I had several of the rims crack on AWW. I exchanged 4 wheels here for the same issue.
