The figures suggest this. But I'm not sure how relavent this is, considering most spokes break at the bend.
I'm not sure how the added stiffness in the plane of the wheel, coupled with the reduced stiffness perpendicular to this, affects wheel stiffness. I'm guessing the result is not much different to a round spoke of the same gauge.
I am sure that they look cool though. Especially the wide ass ones I have one my rear wheel. (Dremelling slots a Tune Mag180 was'nt fun though)
