I've been riding SwissSide Hadron2 Ultimate 625 wheel for about 630Km purchased last month.
Today while wiping the road dust off the wheels I noticed little dot like holes and very shalow and thin cavities on the driveside only rear wheel.
I attached them here.
(Edit)
Never had a flat tyre, or ridden in gravel or offraod 73kg Rider
SwissSide wheels Damaged or bad QC?

I had that kind of porosity all the way around the edge of one ENVE rim and they offered to replace it under warranty. Strangely in my case it they only appeared after several rides.
That's just a little porosity in the resin that is perfectly normal for carbon, especially on a tight detail such as the tip of a rim hook where is difficult for the resin to flow during cure. So nothing to worry about at all and not affecting any of the structural laminate. Only be worried at cracks, or something that's absolutely riddled with porosity
Every single set of carbon wheels (or any carbon component for that matter) will have something similar, anything that doesn't has had the porosity cosmetically filled/painted over, which also could be the reason it only appears after some riding (the comparatively weak filler/paint comes off easier)
