Bonty selects are known for cracking around the nipples. Poor design and known failure mode...IMHO.
If the wheels are less than 5 years old you should be able to warranty them through your dealer IIRC. If they do then ride what they give you.
If they don't....get a handbuilt rear wheel. It will last you a very long time and represent a great value for the price you put into it.
Riding mismatching wheels is perfectly fine. In my opinion it tends to be a sign of someone who rides instead of worrying about what they're riding. Not a bad thing.
If you can afford it then yes swap out for a decent low end handbuilt set. Your front is most likley on it's last legs as well.
I am based because I build of course....but I make no attempt to hide the fact that I have a great deal of disdain for Bonty selects in specific and paired spoking in general.

you can replace your rear, nothing wrong with that, but if you can afford it, might be a good idea to get a new durable set from psimet.com
Thanks
