I had a situation where a 50 pound metal caster flew off a 18 wheeler on the freeway and hit my car and bent the rim (also took my front bumper and some other things with it). They weren't able to fix it, but I was able to find the rim on here from another member who was willing to split his set for about $350 for the rim. Perhaps try the classified section? As for the other components, everything held up just fine other than the damage to the lower control arm where it took the hit. I had to redo my alignment, but the rest of the suspension was OK. Our cars are pretty sturdy fortunately so I wouldn't worry too much.
