There's a lot more adjustment after ends of the nipples pass the end of the thread because the thread in the nipple starts a long way from the end.

You posted in the Woosh clinic section - that's why I assume it's one of ours.
We keep spares for all our bikes and hub kits, that why I offered to fix it for you.
As it's not one of our wheels, I don't have a new rim for your wheel, I can't help you.

Usually, a buckled rim will need replacing and relacing.
A new AT-650 rim costs about £30 plus about £50 in labour.
Of course it will be cheaper if you relace the wheel yourself.
