A Hummer killed my rim!

I was on a long ride today and was at a stretch where I was forced to ride over storm drains amongst traffic. Luckily, the drain patterns allowed me to easily ride over them without issue. That is - before a Hummer forced me to ride too close to an edge, which competely ate up my back wheel!

As soon as I heard the hissing, I knew my rim was done. It had been cracked completely! I'm surprised it didn't shatter. Now, I ride an old bike which uses 700c tubeless (I believe) wheels. Does anyone have any recommendations on a replacement? I don't have a rear brake on this puppy, so my options are wide open as long as they're 700c.
