Default Chrome Spoke wheel question......

I am thinking about going with a 21 / 18" chrome spoke combo with WW on my Road King. Got a decent quote on DNA wheels with Vee Rubber tires from Eastern Performance. Anybody have any issues with DNA wheels or Vee Rubber tires?
Any better suggestions welcomed.

It has been my experience that you get what you pay for. DNA are on the low end as far as quality goes, IMHO.

Back Bike wheels are much better, but you will pay for it. Around $800 for a 21" with stainless spokes.

Always been a fan of Metzeler tires but I don't know if they have a WW in your sizes.

Ultimately your wallet will dictate what you buy.
