I ordered the Deep V's right when the big post about cheap Weinmanns going up on to ebay and a bunch of people we going for them.

I received the box early friday morning, opened it to expect my Deep V's to be glistening before my eyes and I saw Blue, and i was like "hmm sent me the wrong color" pulled one out and I was WTF??!?!

besides wanting my proper wheels (which were $80 more, made in USA , not china) , i wanted to get them back to the store because so many people were scrambling for them, i didn't want someone to miss out, since some colors were already sold out.

in my opinion i didn't really care much for the DP-18's when i pulled them out, finish wasn't to great and a few nic's in the finish. Although $80's is a decent amount of money, i would reconmend the deep v's over the DP-18's .
Even the un-machined brake surface had a large drop off to the rest of the rims and didn't look too great and the finish around the nipples for the spokes wasn't so hot.
If you were getting the DP-18's get the machined brake surfaces, it would look a lot more clean.

safe to say, someone ordered some DP-18's and got a luckey surprize of red anodized deep v's . Glad some one at least profited.
