Ride wright makes the Fat Daddy 50 wheel.


DNA makes the Mammoth 52. Very many mixed reviews on those

Nice bike, Congrats!! Ride wrights are Fat Daddy's!! DNA Mammoth have 52 spokes instead of 50. Both look equally impressive but even at half the price of ride wrights some have had problems with Quality, manufactoring and shipping time, along with horrible customer service. I hear the owner of ride wrights is a hands on owner and have heard nothing but good about them. I just put my order in last week and will be running 21''x3.5 out front and 18x4.25 in the rear! Drew from Dr.V-Twin can hook you up with a great package deal and assist with all the knowledge you will need! Good Luck!!!

I am a Ride Wright guy and that is all I sell after numerous difficult at best transactions with DNA. That has been my personal experience. I will not sell DNA anymore. Period. I look at it this way. The wheels are what my bike rides on and it is worth it to get a better wheel.

I had customers who had bad chrome and plenty of people who got rims that did not fit as they were supposed to from DNA. It was so much hassle trying to get this all straightened out with DNA that I dropped them immediately although I could sell a ton of their product. Just not worth the added hassle to me. It took them nearly a year to refund my money on several sets of wheels we had issues with and I had more pissed off customers than ever.

Email me at DREW@DRVTWIN.COM for pricing and more info on Ride Wrights

Meh, i dont think it matters anymore my friend had shitty luck with rww and sam is lucky he didnt get beat to hell. As of late, youll be fine with dna if your ok with waiting a bit to save the cash as shipping on here seems like it takes a month to get your rims.

$64K dollar question bro! I ran rww for a grip and liked them. I have homies just as happy with their DNA's. On this forum you will hear it all. Like being at the strip and talking to drivers bout Ford, Chevy, or Mopar. Everyone has their opinion and experience.

Agree with Bobber in that you cant go wrong either way.

Prost, I just put DNA Mammoths on my 07 Deluxe. I think they will powder coat to what you want. I ordered from KC International. It took a while to get them but the price is right. Easy install. 21x3.5 up front, 16x3.5 on rear.

Like said before, some guys like DNA's and some like Sinisters and Ride wrights. The black rim with the chrome spokes looks ****, but that Jack bike is just too much, I know its for show, but the contrast of the color combo is just too damn much
