Have you ever hit a pothole so hard

That the alignment came off, and a freaking balancing weight came off your rim?

I did.

Apparently the rims are OK, the tires though are destroyed, as a low profile tire would be after hitting a bump in a car with maxed out weight at near highway speed. Since no one in this country uses the tires my car uses, they’re impossible to find, as such they want to sell them to me for six hundred dollars each. I asked the tech if I could get the set of 18in rims and tires for less money, they said “Probably.”
