“Tacoed rim”
The rider was not physically hurt making these pictures. Just pride. All kidding aside, I’ve searched all over for a replacement rim. Can someone suggest a (US) source or eBay/ Amazon retailer that would have a replacement rim? Thanks in advance.

rim height 19mm
rim width 23mm ( 17mm inside)

No but your local shop will have a rim or can easily get one. I don't recommend supporting billionaires personally and fleabay is a source for used stuff but I don't really want used rims. For new stuff I would rather get it from an authorized seller. However if your wheel is damaged you will more than likely need new spokes and nipples and possibly a hub as well and someone to build it. Your local shop has all of that. I would recommend Velocity rims for a good quality Made in the US rim and the A23 is probably pretty close to what you want

do you want a bare rim, or a wheel assembly? MTB or road bike? Disc or Rim brakes? front or Rear wheel?
250+ bare rims found on ebay when i searched "650B rim "....
the tough part is finding one that is the same spoke hole DEPTH, or "ERD".. ERD is the diameter of the rim where the Spoke Nipples seat up.... look it up to see how to determine your wheel's ERD.... Or visit a bike shop/Co-op....they can help you.
As for finding a complete wheel assembly to swap on.. Try your local craigslist "Bike Parts" section. Search Facebook Marketplace (tends to be more confused though.. "Algorythms!") or visit your local Co-op bike shop... search 27.5 for an mtb wheel or 650B for a road wheel.
if you are intimidated by all these terms and questions... DEFINITELY visit the Bike Shops... we love seeing bike carnage anyway!

I tacoed a wheel once while riding in a metro bus. It was one of those buses that bends in the middle around corners, and the wheel got pinched between the moving well and seat. Saw it coming, and couldn't move the wheel up to my lap fast enough. Everyone around saw it crunch. I sat there in awe. 
Bought a brand new rim, relaced it with the same spokes, and it was as good as new.

mikeschi welcome to BF.
The tacoed wheel might be an indication you weren't paying attention to the many loose spokes you likely had. Do you know how to properly tension them and how to figure the proper length of spokes to order. If not, just go to a bike shop. They'll find you a new wheel for not much cost.

That said, A23's haven't been known for the best quality in the past. Have they improved?

Though I believe we do have some old wheels that we built and maybe one we bought that has old Aussie made rims.
