My concern with the above pic is what looks like either a raised rib or valley under the socket lip, not sure about the pic angle but I don't think it's the lower corner between the sidewall and the outer wall that the socket sits on. Don't see same feature on the other side, although the sockets may be alternating left and right and it's just the camera angle. But something looks off about that. Unless there is a rib on each side that I can't see, and the purpose of the rib is to cock the socket toward the side that the spoke is aiming.
The rib is just the one side. Not sure what it's purpose is but it's on both rims so not a an issue as far as defects go. The eyelets do alternate. I haven't looked closely enough to try and figure out the purpose of the rib.
