bladed spokes

I am thinking of building a new wheel set, and want to use some really fat bladed spokes. I know cx ray and dt swiss make some oval bladed spokes, but I am looking for something fatter and flatter. Like these, maybe not as fat, but close. And I want them to be straight pull as well, cause I am planning to lace them to some cane creek crono hubs. That will allow the use of the bladed spokes without slotted hubs.

The problem I am running into is who makes the spokes I want? I can find them on pre-built wheels, but never a name is listed and I can't find them sold separately. Does anyone know who makes these spokes? I know Hoshi used to make fat bladed spokes, but I know they stopped making them, and that even if you can find them still they were prone to breaking and not straight pull.

pics of your wheels please if you will. And if you dont' mind saying, how much did the spokes cost you, not that it is too much of a concern for this type of product, it's just nice to know

I dont know how much you will like this picture. I can take a new one if you want, i just grabbed what I had on my comp. The wheels came with those spokes so I have no clue about cost.



Here is a picture from their website.

^Probably built up to work with one of those new red-sensing optical wheel pick-ups.
Expensive, those.
