Sorry about the damage. Document the pothole and the incident....if it was on a pubic road, I hear some municipalities will compensate you.

Those rims look familiar....reminds-me of my oldest son's car. I bought him a new Mitsubishi Lancer Ralliart last year (his second choice after I wouldn't buy him an Evo). He immediately put on custom rims with very low profile tires. In the past 6 months we've replaced 2 wheels and 4 tires...I believe all resulting from impact damage.
