I couldn't see any visible damages when I got the rims, packaging was very poor when I got them. Wanted to mount the tires on these rims, so took them to a garage with road force balancing machine. The rim in question could not be balanced, the numbers were way off but the other three were balanced fine. I wouldn't have known this without getting the tire mounted and balance the wheel.

Took it to a wheel repair shop, they confirmed that the wheel had inner hub damage and the owner of that garage who must've seen thousands of these showed me a small crack which could result from an impact like the wheel hitting the curb or pot hole.
