The answer is no. The spokes come out of the rim at an angle that has to match up to a corresponding angle on the hub. So all "rim nipples" are offset from the center of the rim - half to the left and half to the right in a staggered patttern - that is true for all dirtbike rims. These "rim nipples" are drilled for the "spoke nipples" in a forward or aft direction. The rim nipples on the right side of the rim connect spokes to the right side of the hub same thing with the left side all with an alternating for/aft pattern. A gasgas wheel will look the same as your KTM wheel but when you compare them closely do so by looking at a set of 3 adjacent spokes on each wheel. You'll find that when the first and third spoke holes match up on both rims the middle holes will not.
