My question is, what do I do? If the damage is so bad that it broke my rims, do I bring to dealer to check other damages or just change the tires and rim? I wouldn't know what a damage suspension feels like when driving. I'm short of cash and wondered if there are things to have to tell the dealers or tire shop check. I honestly don't want either to rip me off since I'm broke now. So who do I go to and what do I tell them?
Thanks in advance. I'll call Tire Rack in the morning for the rims and hopefully get a response of what else to do.

Been there, done that, bought the t-shirt. It’s Pothole season in NY. They literally pop up overnight.
If you broke a suspension part you would know it immediately. You probably got lucky there, but you definitely will need an alignment.
If you bought your tires from tire rack, you most likely have road hazard protection. That will take a little bit of the sting out of the new tire price.
