How to spot a cracked rim

Hey, I bought a used set of wheels and I wanted to make sure they are not cracked. Is there anyway to check for that?

as if they were leaking air... you can always try the that easy trick of taking a spray bottle of some kind of soap to see if anywhere around the rim that produces bubbles meaning air escaping
