I'll be the lone ranger on this thread and say mine were junk. I am very glad to hear all the good comments this go around, but a couple years ago when I was ranting, most of us were unhappy.
If DNA produces the best wheel for the cheapest price, I still won't buy them for the jerks they were to me a couple years back. The guy finaly admited to me he KNEW there was a bad batch of sealed wheels. Something with the chemical compond or blend not being right - he still did nothing. Zero help to make it right.
In my line of work, when my company does something wrong that causes our customers more money, we try to make it right. Go above and beyond to make things right. They did not, and simply did not care. They were complete jerks, and I wouldn't buy a Gatoraide from their booth if I just rode from Houston to El Paso in August - but that's just me.

All ordering / delivery issues aside (my front wheel came in 8 weeks, my rear in 13 weeks!) Once the product was here, it was beautiful and has functioned well. My front has over 2000 miles, and has held air the entire time, only needed a few pounds when it got cold. My rear wheel is waiting to go on as my swingarm is at the powder coater as I type.

Cool. Can't wait til bonus time. Where did you order them from? Have you decided on tires already?
I have not decided on tires yet. Funds were getting a little low after the rims. I am working out of town for a couple week anyway so I have a little time to decide. I bought them through KC International. They seemed like they were good people to do business with?

Bought my 21x3.5 from KC international. Took about 10 days to get it and the wheel is gorgeous, and freakin heavy. I ride my bike pretty much every day in the summer, so i can see cleaning it is going to be a bitch, but man does it look nice. Heard good and bad about both DNA and KC International, but my personal experience with them was just fine.

I had been reading the same thing as the rest of you. But also seen that most of the negative post where from years ago. I ordered mine from KC. I called DNA directly and they wanted $1,400 and KC gave them to me for $1,200. I have a 06 RK. I went with black powder coat rim chrome diamond cut spokes black hub. 21x3.5 in the front and 18x4.25 in the rear (even though you cant see it). KC told me 4 week lead time. I received the matching rotors within 3 days. I will keep you posted on the rims when they arrive and how they look.
