Give the aftermarket some time. The Rykers are just starting to ship.

Not sure that I would be comfortable with the potential for an "Instant Flat" with tubed tires.
That being said, if you throw enough money at a problem, anything is possible.

Anything is possible....
Finding the right hub and clearance for the caliper is the main thing. You could photoshop them and see what they would look like...

Wire wheels might look good.
The ones in the link are car wheels with ribbed hubs and they sure as heck won't work on a Ryker.
Many of today's spoked wheels can deal with tubeless tires. That won't be an issue.
I doubt the aftermarket will develop a spoked wheel for the Ryker based on demand.
You and 5 or 6 others would be the only customers

See if you could find bearings that would mate to both the Ryker axle and wheel hub (not likely). Or mount the correct axle to the Ryker.
Practically, I don't think it would be worth the money and effort. You might not be happy with the end results as those wheels would certainly be pretty heavy.

As many options BRP boast it has for the ryker, I'm sure they have plans for the wheels soon enough.

There is an adapter kit that Moss sells to retrofit those wire wheels to MGs. I wonder if that adapter kit might itself be "adapted" to work on Spyders. I won't be the one to try it to find out, though. A lot of MGB owners go the other way and convert their wires into alloys. Too much work to maintain wires.

Amen to that. When I was very young I had an MGA with wire wheels. I'm sure technology is much better today. But those wire wheels had to be "tuned" which was a job way above my abilities (and well above my allowance in cost). Big pain in the rear not to mention difficult to keep clean and looking nice. Even if wire wheels were an option, they would never be on my list of things to have.
