don't make 20" rims (at least not that model).
a closer look at the label said it was a 559 rim!!!!
I measure my rims and hubs. Easier that way, but then one must get all the parts laying out before buying the spokes.
I've got a pair of Sun Doublewide rims labeled 507mm, but they seem to fit 26" tires. Hopefully they'll go into a cargo build.
I've been considering Pillar spokes for my next project. Now I'll have to re-think that. However, I think I'll try to order them factory direct if I can do that. Cut out the middle man, and hopefully it would remove counterfeit channels. Of course, they may have more than one factory.
DT has been good for me in the past.
