Thank you for the replies. Since this would be part of my "performance" wheelset, I'm thinking about butted or bladed spokes and a higher quality hub. What concerns me are the spoke holes in the rim. They are ~3/16" diameter(dont recall what gauge that is). Did vector comps from the late 90s use a funky nipple? Right now the nipples I've access to can either drop right through the holes or sit with very lip overhang.
