DNA wheels any better QC?
So I'm looking around for rims, 21x3.5 front and stuck between 16 or 18 rear with white walls. I've read all the DNA horror stories, but they are all old threads from years ago. Has anything changed as far as their quality control? I'm looking for black rims and polished or chrome spokes and it seems they A, had issues with air leaks and B, had issues with the "powder coating" peeling off the rims.
I know I'm going to get people saying don't cheap out and get ride wrights or sinister, but come on, $2500 for 2 rims is pretty crazy. I'm not set on the fat spokes, wouldn't mind normal spokes, but I do want black rims and hubs with polished spokes. If I went with normal spokes, I'd probably do 60 spoke. This will be for my 08 deluxe with 25mm front and rear bearings.
Pictures of your rims would be nice too

No DNA is not any better today, you get what you pay for. IMO 60 spoke (traditional spokes) look the best. If you go with an 18" rear your only WWW tire option is Vee Rubber at this point in time...Save the coin, get good quality wheels, even one at a time if need be. If you have issues with DNA wheels, the cost will end up in the ballpark of just getting good wheels from the beginning, this is speaking from multiple experiences with DNA wheels...

Thanks man, I'm checking out the landmark wheels right now. They can do a 80 spoke front and rear package for $1400 and will powder coat the rim and hub for no extra charge. Not bad at all.

One thing about it, the cost of a tube is the same no matter which spoked wheel you buy. My buddy bought the SAME tube for his high dollar wheel as I did for my DNA wheel.

I'm sure the point is there are thousands of DNA wheels running up and down the roads all over the world and the few people who have had issues certainly do not speak for everybody that owns DNA wheels.

I seem to have bad luck with this kind of stuff so I'm going to save my pennies and go with a company that stands behind their product.
