Not to take away from your accomplishment; but I landed on the first page and saw the question from 200903.

There is a lot of thickness where the spoke meets the rim. One could drill the metal and put in a Heli-coil. They're used for thread repair but could be used proactively. They would be invisible from 5 feet away with a Moon cap off. Or stand proud to accommodate the lip of a pizza pan.

edit:
Instead of sheet metal screws, they could be tiny, tiny washer-headed stove bolts. 1/8th" or so with more depth.
