Not even close! I'm completely satisfied with my DNA. Haven't had one problem with my wheel.

Some people have problems with certain brands and some people don't thats all. I've only had my DNA for a little over a year now and have NO pealing,chrome discoloration,bearing problems,and it still has the same air in it from day one(tubeless). Most of what i hear about DNA problems are with thier fat daddy wheels not holding air. (poorly sealed). But i guess thats why a $20.00 tube comes in handy.

There is another brand wheel thats good also ...."LANDMARK" http://www.landmarkmfg.com/

"I am not here to start an internet argument. So take it with a grain of salts please gents." .....i'm just giving my opinion also.

 

Love my Ride Wrights - great product and awesome customer support.

 

With wheels..... you get what you pay for.

 

What about another option, hdwheels.com? Anyone have any experience with them? When I was looking at puttin a spoked rear wheel on my '06 FXST, they were the only one I could find that offered a 17" X 6" wheel.
