I've never seen one of those before.
Does that make any engineering sense?
Why would having spokes running straight (although I'm guessing tangentially to the axis) strengthen a hub?
Is it a case of two flanges strong three flanges stronger?
Also Cnc'd hubs are not as strong as forged and machined ones.
(So trot on boutique hubs)
Interesting curio though.
