My Ride Wrights bolted right in, no spacer issues, no problems what so ever. And even though they were used, Sam said to email him if I had any problems and he would walk we through it.

Hmm I talked to my Indy friend today and told him I got the rims and tires coming in but since I'll prob have to do spacers I wanna do it down at the shop so I can deal with the suprises. So I told him I gotta find some tubes and he says... "We've been putting a bunch on a lot of Luxes and not one leaked??? It's a gamble I guess... I'll leave up to what i can find before the time comes... We'll see 
But my fat spoke 21"er i told Gail's HD of Kansas City to put tubes in and they tried but the valve stem hole was to small and they didn't want to drill them so they ran them tubeless... tire went flat in 2 days.... I don't blame DNA because i was already aware of the misfortunes of DNA leaks on a fat spoked wheels.... only on my 21"er ... my 16" opening was perfect.
I took the wheel off and brought it back to them to do it how i told them... they drilled it and ran a tube and I've had not one problem since...... chromes great and air is perfect.....
I don't know how that 23"er is set-up but don't get freaked if you have to drill it.... took the guy 2 if that minutes.... Find a tube and you wont have to worry about air leaks...... tubes are cheap....
I would still buy DNA wheels for a third time but i'm 100% satisfied with my current/2nd set-up now....

It is really easy to draw the wrong conclusion, but please don't take it the wrong way. Buy what you want. I will still be here either way. I am a member of the forum and was long before I was working as a vendor here. I count on this place for accurate information as well.
Also, the lifetime warranty is something that is not widely publicized and hard to come by in the MC industry.
Enjoy your wheels everyone and post some pics. I love fat spokes!
