Default Ultima Spoke Wheels

Hey guys anyone have any experience with ultima wheels? My front rim is slightly bent so I figured it would be a good time to upgrade to a 80 spoke wheel. I was thinking of going with an American wire wheel but damn they are a lot of money[&:] I got looking around and seems I can get a pair of 80 spoke Ultima's for less than just a front american wire but I wasn't sure of the quality. They look good and I believe they are made in the USA but I thought I'd see what you guys have to say.

Thanks, Jim

I'm not familiar with Ultima wheels, I do however have 80 spoke Landmark wheels on my Fat Boy. They look great, but cleaning is a real chore. It wears your fingers to the bone getting between the spokes at the rim, andit's almost impossible to get to the hubs.

I hear ya jv255 I love the look on my Fat Boy. If your willing to do the maintenance,I say go for it. I think it's one of the features that set my FB apart.
