DANG IT!!

I hit a nice huge pothole today going 50mph. It was a hard hit and I pulled over right away to inspect...I didn't see anything. Well I decide when I get home it would be wise to inspect. I took the wheel off, and found that my wheel is now oval shapped, and there is a 3in gash that peeled rubber off all the way to the cords/threads! This is all on the inside of the wheel not visible from the front. DANG IT! $110 Kumhos and Gary Fisher rims(where in the world will i find them??) Do normal wheel shops do straightening or what is the best bet for that? I am hoping that my tire will be covered under road hazzard warranty and replaced for $8. The rim is what scares me the dealer will take my balls and squeeze hard with that rim. I am guessing I can get it for 400 or so but I only paid 600 for all 4. Any good guesses on where I can get a spare Gary Fisher wheel, quad tri spoke 17x8. This sucks! Two weeks ago I blew my engine in my Z after spending all week putting eibachs springs and tokico struts in along with strut tower braces and racing slicks(for an SCCA event). Then I get my grades back and I got a crummy 3.2! AHHHHH! Not to mention that my girlfriend of over 2.5 years ended it.

If this doesn't belong in performance I am sure it will be deleted but I figured this would be the best board to ask questions about wheels and tires. If you could refer me to any wheel straightening places that would be great.

Thanks
