pothole mage damage-help!!

No good deed goes unpunished. Last night I managed to find the deepest pothole in Houston. The front tire popped instantly and the rim is ruined the rear rime was rubbed too.

More worrisome is I'm concerned it may have damaged the front left suspension bits. The bumper LOOKS ok but the sensor was a tad off. it popped back in. some rubbing under the air dam.

I feel sick, 4 hours of ownership. State farm is on it.

What are the chances of front end damage?

Please help!

5,000 worth of damage, mostly the cost of 2 sets of rims and tires and a bent control arm.

This hammers into me to stay away from 20 inch rims. They look awesome but even more vulnerable to this kind of damage.
Hopefully car is ready by 6 Dec. It was the 1st time I drove it after picking it up from dealer. I've decided that M-cars are too much car for me and I need something safer and stable. Here is my new ride! I still to drive that sporty 2-door coupe kinda car. ;-)
