Again, you have 4 broken spokes? How did you not know? I get one broken spoke, I know immediately.

Your wheel is really messed up and probably not repairable. You can replace the spokes but most likely it's going to break again. You've lost the integrity of the rim. It's a 26" wheel with a lot of spokes so it's pretty strong. For you to break spokes especially 4, something is wrong. I don't break spokes on my MTB riding in the woods and you've done it in the street.

If you remove the spokes so you are only left with the rim. You put the rim on concrete and see if it lays flat or is wobbly. Assuming the concrete floor is flat. If the rim is wobbly, the rim is shot.
