Yes, I have a wheel with alloy nipples. I was having an issue with even tensioning the rear wheel on my Miyata, and that one blew. I'm going to have to strip the wheel down, check the hoop for quality. If the rim is still up to par I'll slap some brass ones on and rebuild. I'm thinking my rim is nearing the big recycling bin in the sky.

1978 Eisentraut. Coolest pump peg ever. And the seat stay attachment isn't too shabby either.
