Default dna vs. ride wright vs. sinister

I am looking to do a 21" black fat spoke on my 2013 road glide. I have heard good and bad with the dna and ride wright. I havent really heard anything about the sinister wheels. Obviously i like the idea of the price of the dna but i dont want to run into problems. What are your guys opinions and reviews of these wheels?

Default Dna wheels

I've had 2 sets of dna wheels on my deluxe an now on my heritage. Both were 21 front an 16 rear. Never had an issue . Chrome stayed looking good an balanced out fine everytime. I'm sure the quality on the more expensive wheels are better but not obvious enough when comparing. Cheerz

A quick, kinda basic question for you, if you have a minute, please. Mine, stock, are 17F/16R. How do you accommodate a larger front for the ABS? It's something I've been mulling about but not sure how you make that work.
