Actually I think the 90153A212 looks better.

I have never seen a bicycle wheel spoke that was 1/8" in diameter.
They're more like 14 or 16 gauge. Motorcycle spokes, maybe.


My bad, I measured a bicycle spoke, ~.085 and a quick search found only
14 gauge max. Motorcycle I have now doesn't have spokes like that but
they are quite a bit bigger.


Bear in mind that Jaguars and Ferraris used to come with wire wheels
too.
