Stupid Question? - Newbie requires help.

Hi all,
I'm new to this road biking game but since buying a Trek 1200 a week ago I'm absolutely loving it.
Problem is - I have just come back from a ride and have noticed what appears to be a slight crack across the rim (on both front and rear and appears to be in the same place (right on the 'T' of Bonetrager tyres)). It is like a hair line crack.
The rims are still standard, and although they don't say on them, I believe their are Alex (?) rims. I have done about 200 miles and weigh 13.5 stone.
Right the stupid bit - is this likely to be where the rim join is? I have never had any cracks on my MTB rims??
Can someone please put me mind at ease???
Cheers.

I bet you will find it is exactly opposite the valve, this is the joint in the rim, more visible on some wheels than others.He is not the messiah, he is a very naughty boy !!0

Just checked - directly opposite the valve. Cheers for the replies guys!
I take it my wheels won't break up on me just yet then?
