Hey Bender - like Ian said, if the wheel was bent you'd probably be able to see it pretty clearly. If you want to pull the wheel off and check the back side of the rim edge for peace of mind, go for it. I'd imagine you'd be able to feel the vibration from that corner of the car pretty quickly.
If the alignment was thrown off, chances are you'd get a shake through the steering wheel at a certain speed range. My wife's corolla hit a gnarly pothole last winter and threw the alignment off, could feel it between 65 and 75mph.
Regarding the actual suspension members, your best bet is to pop both wheels off and compare sides. Check for any sign of bending in control arms etc. I don't think you'll find anything, I've hit some awful potholes myself (northern CT) in my 99 Viggen without issue.
Good luck!
