It would be doable if the the spokes were solid, but I don't see how you could machine the pockets of the X's into the spokes, no matter what kind of machining resources you had.

Nice render though...

3D printing the part might work for the 8-spoke. Not sure about the 12.

They could be cast, potentially. Making the mold would still be a challenge.
