Found this hole in my rim while prepping tubeless tape… I think it might be from a nail that I ran over? Is this wheel toast?

I would ride it without worrying
Nah you good
It’ll crack eventually, but hard to say when.
You’re probably fine but would maybe be a bit more thorough on top of your regular checks.
You should be fine. Before you tape your rim, feel around the puncture for any burs or rough edges. If you find some, take a fine grit sandpaper to it to scuff out the rough spots. Double layer of tape and you should be good. When it’s time to run new sealant, check it carefully for any stress cracks or deformation. But, you should be good to ride it.
