I am in the exact same boat, moreover, we have the same wheel lol
but mine are slightly bent, still holds air tho
I'd repair them...

in fact i've repaired a couple of times of my wheel since i hit potholes very often by accident....

the cost of buying another one, shipped and then mounting them are still going to cost you... lol
if you don't hit another pothole, it'll run as good as new ones

I agree, Japanese wheels is the route I'd like to go

Thanks for the heads up bro. I was hoping someone with my wheels would post their experience. This is helpful...and yeah, I'll try to avoid those potholes
