Default Repairing or replacing AP2 rear rim?

So I hit a pothole the other day and bent my right rear AP2 OEM rim. It was on a tire balancer and I saw it running in all crazy directions instead of a normal circle. The guy balancing my tires said that the rim was not repairable because the damage wasn't on the inside lip ... Anyone know if thats true?

Also, is it a good idea to repair rims like that or am I better off buying a new one? Anyone willing to sell me a right rear rim for cheap? ... Or is there anywhere online selling AP2 rims cheap?

Thanks for any help you guys can provide!

Thanks, yeah I've been hawking eBay for rims. The one you linked was the only single rim I've seen so far. Looks like there's a chip in the rim on the right side of the picture though ... Put in a question to the seller to ask about any damage.
