Probably not worth it on that low of a set. I'm considering replacing the orange nipples on a set of Racing 5's.

You can certainly do it, but what would be the benefit? Is there something lacking in the current hubs and spokes? If I was going to the effort, I'd get new rims too; KinLin XC279, Pacenti SL23, BHS Kinlin equivalent, etc...
