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

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.
