The damaged one was repaired and cost a great deal less than replacing it. I recall the cost of a replacement was north of AU$1,000. In the end I couldn't get one at all and replaced all 4 with a second-hand set which cost less than one new rim. As it is likely the rim was damaged only because it was low profile, the replacements were not. Low profile, that is. Indeed, I wondered then, and still do, why one would have low-profile tyres for normal use given that, whether we like it or not, the occasional pot hole is a fact of life.
... because it is hip?
