They are ok, but there is
a significant hop at the joint.

Did you measure how much it was?

Will measure tonight - it looks to be ~1mm.

At ~ 1 mm it would qualify as a top contestestant for the worst rim
that went from new to recycling bin here.
.5 mm is the maximum I would tolerate and that is what all the
nationally rated bicycle mechanic schools tell you.
I think your supplier would want to make this right by getting you an
acceptable sample.
Some suppliers (backed by Mavic and others requirements) will ask you
to return the rim.
I deal with a supplier of rims that just sends me a free replacement
(no return required).

Who is that supplier??


It has only happened 1 time in about 1,000 that
the rim wouldn't do better than .5 mm with tension balanced at
plus/minus 10%.
