Default New back rim...

To begin i own a 2012 ec250e.

Got some new tires in the mail. Sent the wheels out to have them put on. With only having owned the bike for a year, and getting it used, the back wheel is pretty chewed up and bent. The shop got the tire off, but broke their machine doing it, and refuse to put the New tire back on.

Option A. Try to get the tire on myself and hope it works. I mean I've been riding it how it is for a year now. I doubt it's optimal but I just like to putt around on trails. How bad is it to ride with a couple bends in the rim?

Option B is send it out to have a new rim installed. But because, to my knowledge, the gasgas uses it's own spoke gapping/spacing on the hub, it's gotta be custom drilled to order. Not exactly "cheap" when the rim and spokes are gonna cost 6-700.

Option C. For about $1400 I can get some custom built front AND rear wheel. Anozied hub, solid rims etc. From Australia of course shipped to the US.

Or if someone has a complete rear wheel that fits, and are willing to sell it. I am interested. Otherwise I'm stuck on What to do. Any ideas?

Another option is slap the old tire back on and trade it in with cash and get a 2019
