Good luck with that. It's actually much better to use fewer spokes with a wide bracing angle rather than what will presumably be 32 spokes with that negligible bracing angle. Placing the spokes closer together makes almost no aerodynamic difference, since the pressure reduction that far behind the leading edge of the rim is very small, and the reduction in wheel stiffness is large.
