Replacement rims for Zipp 30

[siauragama]

I've recently had a road debris incident with my Zipp 30 rear wheel leaving a nice big hole in the rim. Contacted Zipp support for replacement rim, but they say they don't sell the rim separately, because "this wheelset is sold as a system". Hubs/spokes are quite new so I'm looking for a 20h 30mm rim to replace the broken one. Thing is I'm a bit OCD, so in the future I'll probably want to match the front rim, which is 18h 30mm. This limits the options a bit, and so far I've found only Velocity Deep V 30mm rims that have 18/20h options. Wheelbuilder.com lists Kinlin XR-300 as 18/20h options, but could not find a dealer in UK/Europe that offered that.

Have any of you replaced a Zipp 30 rim to something else?
Any other options for 30mm 18/20h rim combo?
Could be carbon rims (if credible, not random aliexpress stuff).

If the rim bead is still OK I would continue to ride the wheel (assuming the hole is only on the rim bed and did not go through the entire rim).

The bead is OK, seems ridable. Took it to local shop for further inspection. They filed a little bit around the edges to ensure no sharp bits are sticking out and also suggested riding it. Maybe I should drill the hole to make it more uniform or just leave it as it is?

Looks fine to me. I'd ride it.

Thats quite a "lucky" place.

Just leave it as is. Drilling it could cause more harm than good.
