I've see a buddy club qf wheel crack on the spoke just like your volk, no bent in the lip at all.

I just got set of used CE28, this makes me worry.

UPDATE
got it fixed then it cracked again at the same spot during the weekend. i called the shop and they are shocked and sent me a return shipping label to send it back to them.

they are recruiting a metal specialist to look at the composition of the material and then go from there.

Yeah I guess, all I paid was shipping from Japan.

I found the last 2 new ADVAN RCII Rims on the planet and they were in Japan. There is a shop in Cali that has a set of 4 but wouldnt split them up. ADVAN discontinued the RCII for the new line up of Rims.

Here's my ADVAN RCII rim with a crack in it. I know it's dirty but it is just a spare!
