Yes, I took him at his count, though at this stage it didn't really matter. I simply wanted to point out that 30 is a rare drilling and that the rim selection would be limited (not non-existent).

However, my main intent was to help the OP decide whether to do the quick repair vs. the total rebuild that "stainless cancer" (chloride inclusions) would demand.
