Is this bad?

Mavic Cosmos wheel.



I noticed the wheel had a loose spoke and was out of true. Upon inspection it looks like the eyelet itself is pulling out of the rim. I don't know how those eyelets work but I'm assuming they are pressed, almost riveted, into place or something?

I was able to tighten the spoke and re-true the wheel but I haven't ridden it yet. Is this rim shot? Or is the eyelet simply split or something and maybe the part inside the rim is still fine?

Thanks for any info.
