The thickness is up to you, some like straight gage, some like them butted, some want black spokes, some ss finish. Brand, DTSwiss, Sapim or other brands.

Some of the posters here are good wheel dudes. Urbanknight is full of it, .................uhhhhh knowledge I mean!...He'd tell you more about spokes.
