Did you loosen all the nipples before you started over?

I would personally go handbuilt for that budget, or Chinese carbon with dt hubs

I didn't, I brought it to a wheel builder and he said the wheel needs to be rebuild but this Ryde rim can only be build one time because of deformation.
Another thing I'm considering is buying the same rim one more time (for the rear wheel) and change it and reuse the rest...

Yeah just get a new rim (and new nipples) if the old one is fucked, rebuild using the same spokes. I usually tape the new rim to the old one and switch the spokes over one by one so they’re in the same place. Then true and tension.
