Default Changing Front Spokes

Wanting to put some spiral twisted spokes on my front rim. Is it easier to just buy the spokes and have them installed on the stock from rim? What all is needed? Just spokes and nipples?? Thanks

Unless you are proficient at doing it, pay someone $50ish and save yourself the headache to relace and true. A bit of advice, go with twisted stainless and not chrome. Spokes will rub together while you ride, if you use chrome, they will rust after a while. Just my $0.02
