I wrecked my RydeANDRA40, probably by using too much pressure on cobblestone and pothole ridden roads.

Wait how much pressure are we talking about? Looks more like corrosion of some kind. Were you riding tubeless? Or seeing a lot of salt.

4,5 Bar/ 60 PSI the maximum the tire could take. It has seen a metric fuckton of salt because my city went a bit overboard with it this winter. But does aluminum corrode this much because of salt?

Well. It’s more that a rim will almost never fail in this way when overpressuring your tires (the sides are more likely to fail) and 4.5 bar is nowhere close to overpressure for an aluminum ryde rim. Salt can corrode aluminum yes. A more common occurrence is people riding their bike on a hometrainer and the handlebars breaking due to the corrosion caused by the sweat from their hands.
