Bicycle spokes are actually a really good idea. You can buy different thickness spokes and they are about a dollar or two each. I actually have the blue groove set but they are expensive and I think your way is actually better.

And they make a massive difference handling wise. I have the sway bars on the front of both of my trucks and before the trucks would pull up the right rear wheel if I tried to corner at speed. That normally lead to roll overs or aborted turns.
