like the Profil A's?? I suspect that they're single eyelet type with eyelets only visible from the inside, but does the rim have a flat section inside so regular nipples work on the rims? Anyone here unsing the profils that can enlighten me on this.

Chombi,
I don't think the Profile 18 or 20 needed the special nylon washer and internal nipple like the Profile A rims.
I'm pretty sure they used a standard 14mm spoke nipple.
And if anyone finds the nylon washers and internal nipples for the Profile A I desperately need them!

After seeing your response, I went ahead and purchased a set Profil 20 rims to mate up with my Stronglight Delta hubs.
At least I'm sure that I can build up the wheels myself.
Hope you find the washers and nipples for your Profil A's soon.
