Default another d%mn wheel question

I want 18 wheels for my SG---but I don't have fifteen hundred to two grand to spend on them----looking for alternatives.

any one heard of DNA wheels? on Ebay for $529 for 18 x 3.5 is this a deal or is it "you get what you pay for"?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/DNA-1...QQcmdZViewItem

as always thanks for the info in advance

I ran 18 inch DNA's on my Heritage... I had absolutely no problems with them at all... I was looking at those same wheels and thinking about going with them, just not sure I want to do spokes again... There are pics of my old Heritage in my gallery if you'd like to see what they look like..

I have had great luck with american classic motors off e-bay...
fast shipping and good products.

they should do a wheel, tire , rotor, combo....ready to mount. I bet they would if you would ask them.
I have gotten lotsa goodies form them at incredible prices

thanks for the replies---your Heritage looks sharp al hail. I think I'm going with the DNA wheels---only question for Fishafly--is why not spokes again?

I've been looking at the same wheels for my 06 RK.
Are the 18" wheels a straight bolt on replacement for the 16" wheels,
or are there some mods needed for fitment?
