totally agree i had a friend who this happened too and he went straight out and took a pic of it, and got money for a new wheel.
if it hasnt got a spray painted circle round the pot hole then it hasnt already been reported, and you have a good case

I collected my wheels today and can't even tell where the damage was. The guy said it was very hard to do as the wheels are very strong. When I dropped them off he felt they may well crack when he tried to straighten them. Fortunately he was wrong.

Do they x-ray them?
IIRC, it's the only way of making sure there are no hairline cracks.
Best keep a close eye on them, just in case.

I remember a guy posting on the NSX website about a piece of rim cracking (looked like a lump of filler falling out, but wasn't) that he'd noticed on it 17" forged OEM. Clearly an over-enthusiastic repair.
