Can't see why they wouldn't. From the looks of that picture, I'd say that you've got the hang of it.

Wow!! that's one heck of a wire wheel. Only took a few hours is hard to believe. joel To be honest Joel, it’s my third try at this 😲 I’m hoping the next three will go smoother So what went wrong so that I can avoid same issues?

Very nicely done. So by what length did you need to shorten the nipples. And did it make any sense to try and bend the end of the spoke that went into the hub by 90 degrees?

The nipples slide over the spokes, just need re adjust them before you glue them. No bend and if you do decide to do it it’s about 20 degrees.

Will be in touch when I get to that point to get some pointers from you and anyone else... looks like a complicated process and I wonder how your fingers became tweezers! Great looking work so far!

Boy do those 4 wire wheels looks fantastic. I'd say you graduated from wire wheel school with honors.
