Default Work Meister Question

All the Meister owners please chime in. Is it just me or does the size of the rim, R disk, O disk, and offset play a big role in how the spokes look on the meisters? Notice on the bright buff rim the top of the spokes don't flare out as much as the spokes on the white one. Also on the white one the space between the spokes are more of a circle because of how the spokes flare out. (I'm not really feeling that.)

Tell me these 2 sets don't look different to you... Offset maybe?

There's a difference between the two-piece and three-piece due to the rivet area. The spokes on the two piece extend further to the rim than the three-piece due to the space for the rivets.

2pc don't have rivets, just to be clear. The first set of pics, both have rivets, so with that said. There is no diference in spoke design!

^, Correct. Therefore the two-piece spokes extends to the area where the rivets would be on the three-piece.

An easy way to tell is the rivets on the Meisters are spaced evenly around the circumference, where as the Professor has sets of five between each spoke. Another tell, is the rivets themselves are raised on the Meisters and flush on the Professors.
