IRO low-flange hubs

Ok, so I had an IRO low-flange hub on my rear wheel (remember those when they were on sale?). Last night I changed the cog, and decided I would give rotafixing it a try. Now I have a nice, smooth surface where there used to be threads. Stupid? Yes. I know this now. I promise to never, ever do it again, scouts honor.

So anyhoo, does anybody know what those hubs are rebranded from? I'd like to get something with identical dimensions so I don't have to go out and buy a whole new set of spokes as well.

Thanks.

Scroll down for the IRO description. The Harris Cyclery and Formula hubs are apparently the same.
