if you're referring to the link i posted earlier they absolutely will. I used them on a set of 48h wheels for a BMX build. The wheels originally had 180mm black spokes with 12mm silver nipples, the wheels were covered in spray paint with many rusty and/or broken spokes. I ordered a 100ct of DT Swiss black brass nipples from Amazon for pretty cheap. Other places had cheaper spokes but the shipping was a lot more.
Got the initial lacing done:
Still need to repack the hubs and tension and true the wheels.
