It really depends where you hit the pothole exactly, the viggen rims are thin 5 spokes which have little support to certain parts of the rim. The inside is also weak with even less support. Its a chancce you have to take for having nice rims with few spokes and low profile tires. The viggen rims are probably made out of softer metal too which bend easier than most 5 spokes, hence the complaints about the rims. You probably hit on the outside of the rim right on one of the spokes which is the strongest part of the rim and most likely wont bend, so dont think your rims are invincible and watch out for those potholes.
