Not the worst answer. Couple of brand name rims form microcracks after rebuilds and its purely cosmetic.

These tho, I would not be so sure.

Have you noticed decrease in tension?
Also, has you Mack hub already have play in the bearings?

Tension feels even by hand. Will check with tensionmeter. Hadn't though to check the bearings, do you think that could be the source of the noise?

I'd get the tensionmeter out and just check

Doubt that the bearings will make any noise but all the mack front hubs develop play as the spokes in tension pull on the flange and enlarge the bearing bore.
