Are these the rims to stay away from or are they any good?

I have always had a problem with the welds on Pro wheels, I can't seem to get the up/down "wobble" out of them, and it always seems to be right where the welds are. But I have never had one crack, I have had a few excels crack, as well as the factory honda rims.

Just my opinion, and what other riders have told me.

I have had two sets of Pro wheel rims and they were both good for me. No issues at all with them.

I'm not sure about Pro wheels, but stay away from DNA.

Mine are about 2 years old. They are black with red hubs on a Honda 450. The front rim (only the front, back is still fine) has faded horrible. Looks gold now. They won't warranty then. If you want your bike to look good (and you do or you wouldn't be looking at wheel sets) don't buy DNA. Bearings are garbage also. Not a good experience for me.
