They arrive on 7/11/2023 and I'm going to use a die to put the right threads on the end, then I'll forge them into spokes with the head and bend. I'll let you all know how it goes. All else failing, I'll just bend the metal into hooks and hook it though the hubs, but I am going to try to fabricate spokes that are as close to original as possible.

Sounds like a fun exercise, but if you think 30 for a whole set is bad, I've paid more than that for one spokes with matching spoke nut on real Hondas lol.
