Do you need any nipple washers for Zipp 1080?

I searched a little and found that there are Firecrest washers, but nothing about 1080 rims.

Will be using CX-Rays and Sapim Brass Nipples.

Older versions has nipple washers - if originaly wheel has washers use same washers - if dont you dont need them
Be carefull on max spoke tension (100kg i think) - or nipple will go trough rim

I emailed Zipp and they replied:

"This rim did not require nipple washers." (Mine is the 2010 version)
