Which Velocity rim? Razor... Fusion etc...! Generally these are the seams that join the rim ends together and may be normal. As usual, a picture would tell us more!

masking tape won't hold.
plumber's strap tape should hold.
but even cheap rim tape doesn't cost much. We're talking about less than $3 for rim tape from the LBS.
that crack is fine, it's normal for the rim to have that, especially on lower quality rims like velocity.
