Louis:

I have a set of 100 spoke Daytons that are stainless steel spokes that are
model 1660.  I bought them used (in new shape).  I put a magnet on them just
now and they are non magnetic spokes which definitely makes them stainless.
The hub is chrome plated steel. (Pete Koehler gave me advice on the bolt
pattern)

Dayton may have sent the manufacture of these wheels off shore and may have
stopped using stainless, but I suggest you contact them at the 800 line
listed on their web site to see if they are still available.

For me, I just bought a set of five life time rims (that are also fully
re-buildable by the factory).

I may show up in Kentucky to show them off. (And introduce you boys to some
Moosehead beer along the way)
