I know the topic is beaten to death but I've searched the forums and (a) no where is there a pic of failed joints and (b) no one has made a claim like I am about to.

In February 2010 I received the Weinmann DP18 wheelset from eBay/wheelandsprocket. I noticed they had very obvious weld seams on them but I thought nothing of it. On the day I got them, I took note of the seam; I would describe them as being almost open by 1mm (I can stick a toothpick in the seam) and gradually closing as they meet the machined section. Both wheels have the identical split.

I've been riding them everyday since without any problems. I'm not trying to fuss about it as I am well beyond any warranty or exchange. I just wanted an opinion on them from some of you. Should I be worried? I have found no tangible reports online of Weinmann's actually splitting or failing but I seem to be the only one who report on them being "open". Are yours like that too?

Thanks, looking forward.
