before they ship make sure you've measured twice and you've got everything you need. don't get into a back and forth with the manufacturer. good luck

Good ol' spokes. The more they cost the better?

I dunno. I roll on a budget. I was looking for round, powdered and more than 40 spokes for under a grand. DNA made all my wildest dreams come true?

I've owned Xtreme Machine wheels for three years.
I like them the best, and the wavy rotors are just as hot as the wheels.

You shouldnt have to measure if it is going on a stock bike. The manufacturers do the R&D. It isn't always right I know but your measuring doesn't mean squat to what they are making. I have put on many aftermarket wheels and can say the coastal moto wheels were the easiest. It was so smooth I just knew I forgot something. I have put a lot of miles on and everything is perfect.

Silly question from a n00bie here but....

Why are two bike wheels as much or more than 4 wheels for a car? Wow I would have figured these things to be lower in price since you are only getting either one or two.

This is a common question. A couple of reasons is because these motorcycle wheels are billet aluminum and are finished on both sides. Therefore the machining and polishing time is increased. In short, higher quality material, more time to manufacture.
