Now that I've got the important things (like tank decals) sorted, on to more mundane things... wheels.
How do OEM rims and spokes compare with aftermarket? (Price wise they are at least $100 more than aftermarket, and spokes about $60 more than aftermarket).

Is there a big (or any) quality difference?  I'd like to go OEM, but it would be hard to justify if aftermarket is superior.

Thanks :-)
