RE: Spider aftermarket wheels

["Ev-Arch1" <mdg36@domain.elided>]

That's a nice looking wheel but, maybe it's just me, I have a hard time with
wheels designs that have mounting holes not aligned with the spokes or other
features of the wheel design itself, i.e., 4 mounting holes need 4 or 8
spokes, 5 holes: 5 or 10 spokes. The serpent design, as pleasant as it is,
has no correlation between the holes and the spokes--looks like a drilled
blank with one bolt hole lined up with a spoke and the others helter
skelter....my .02.
Do I offer a good alternative? well noooo.

Scott:

I stumbled on this in my meanderings on the web. I think that they are far
nicer than anything else I've seen for the spider.

Anybody have any experience with them?
