so im trying to switch out my nitrous rings pinned rim, the rim is spliting at the seam, anyways my question is...

I got an eclat beserk rim (sean burns used to ride the beserk rim before bone death came out with their's rim)i got it for free from my LBS cause it was used and in sorta bad condition, im wondering if its still ridable, i think there are micro cracks under the lip of the rim on the inside, few small dents, and like 7 spoke holes formed a small mountain shape out of the rim from exesive spoke tension........................and is this how a welded seam rim looks like here are the pics
