there's no reason why those parts can't be built into a functioning wheel.

Although it would have been better to have started with the 8/16 version 🙂

Definitely a lesson learned there.

So if I just correct this dishing and my DS tension is then >4x my NDS tension.... firey death?

It won't be, the geometry cannot be gamed. As you wind on the DS to move the rim to the right, the length of the NDS spokes necessarily grows, and since they're made of rubber, that means their tension rises even though you haven't turned the nipples.

Possibly. If that does happen then you're obviously in a weird kink in time and space where the ordinary rules of physics no longer apply, so it'd be hard to rule anything out!
