19's on a what? What was the tire size?
Actually, it doesn't really matter. On anything short of a truck/SUV, a 19" wheel will necessitate a rubber band sized sidewall. No wonder you bent that thing.
18" wheels on the S2k should be ok, unless you're talking about MONSTER potholes. Lots of people run 18's on the S2k and are fine (pothole wise). It's just one of the small downsides for running a larger wheel. I wouldn't worry about it enough to keep me from getting them though. (Not that I would ever run 18's...)

Driving around LA I've hit a couple of pretty bad pot holes. The TE's held up with no bends. I was running 215/35's in the front and 245/35's in the rear at that time. They're pretty strong rims.
