Tx. So far no problems.
The rims I got looked very smooth it's the older model, no edges or seams that stick out. Spoke holes looked ok too.
Built them myself so if I die in a fiery inferno it was my fault :P
JWestland-
I wouldn't worry about it too much.
Also you can't tell by just looking at a new rim, you will feel it as you are building, that your nipples bind for no reason.
From the ones I've seen, Archetype does it, Velocity rims are terribly finished too.
Pacentis are always well finished.
I generally chamfer all non eyeleted rims as a part of the wheelbuild.

Ah yes. Sorry.
It does sometimes, but mainly alloy nipples.you can somewhat limit that by deburring the spoke holes.
