I've seen them as the spoke nipple starts to pull the little "mole hill" form in towards the wheel centre and cracking up toward the hole such that you can't tension the wheel correctly.

Definitely the rim. The hubs 100% and it’s been relined, new bearings the lot. I’d waited an age to get it back from the Chromers. It’s doubly annoying because we checked them out to make sure they were true but didn’t register any cracks until they came back for fitting.
The whole idea of having a spare set of wheels has become a bit of a black hole!

Why do you need a spare set of wheels?

There’s no logic to it Julie. I inherited a set and it seemed like a good idea at the time....I probably need help.
I know I can get a repro but the originals have a different stamp so I’ll just have to keep an eye out.

You can't see the diamond stamp or any other stamp whilst your riding and nor can anyone else 😊😊😊😊 Safety over originality all the time, every time.
