Default PRO's CON's Revtech RevPro wheels?

Can I get a heads up from anyone that has had good or bad experiences with the Revtech line? I'm concidering the RevPro 18's for the Road King because they have a big sale on them at one of the online vendors.

Anything I need to look out for or worry about?

Thanks,
David

I bought a set about 5 years ago. The chrome bubbled on the rear rim within a few months. It was covered under warranty, but that model wheel had been discontinued. They offered me any other wheel in their stock for replacement. I ended up going with a solid chrome disk. The chrome on the front wheel began to bubble about a year after that. No longer under warranty. Personally, I wouldn't touch that brand again after my experience, but your mileage may vary.

Thanks for the input. There are a few company's making the solid wheels. I thought they were reasonably priced until I remembered there was the added cost of the hub assembly per wheel. So not really such a great deal. I may shift back toward the Hogpro's again.
