Hope someone can help!!
I came face to face with a pothole.
Needless to say I came off worse. Rubbers fine!!
I'm after a Team Dynamics 1993 (ish) 17" 5 spoke (Each spoke is split) for a 1992 Legacy turbo.
I can send a pic.
Try here

Take a photo of the pot hole and claim the damage off the council. That's what you pay your road and council tax for.

looking at the damage, it might surprise you that bashing it with a Nylon/leather hammer could straighten it quite a bit. Most aftermarket wheels are very soft, and bend quite easily. If it breaks, it breaks, but it can be worth a try. I have used a big heavy Thor copper/leather headed hammer on wheels before, hitting with the leather head. Using a soft head like that wont mark the wheel.

yeah, phone them up - nothing to lose.
not sure how far you'll get claiming off the council - I tried this when I hit a pothole down a country lane and wrecked my geometry - several letters and phone calls later they refused to compensate - their arguement being that after my complaint it (the pot hole) was filled/fixed within 5 days which is within their service level agreement so I had no arguement... grrrr!
