I have a 2009 Hyundai Sonta Limited with 18,000 miles and all I can say is I Hit 3 potholes since February and bent three rims and blew out three tires for a total of over $380 each time. I understand I have what are considered "low Profile" tires and "aluminum rims" (very soft metal) that came with the car but the combination is not good when hitting a pothole. BUT I LOVE MY CAR! I feel your pain!
