Was changing tires on my 95 CR500 and found this crack. Is it safe or unsafe? Probably been there for years.

Seen it before on OEM rims, I've had a few TIG welded, one cracked again soon after but the other one I still have in my shelf and used daily until I converted my WRF to super moto. With the rim that cracked again I think it has more to do with the guy I had weld it rather than what I was using the bike for.

You can see it has cracked along the original join/weld, very common.

Yeah I noticed that and heard it’s a common spot for cracking.
