Well, it turns out that I not only bent one of my wheels, but it cracked as well. Because of the damage to the wall of the wheel, I had to get a new tire too. Sucks! I ordered a new wheel from BMW of Newport (Garry Romani - Parts Manager) who gave me a 25% discount on the wheel. For those that don't know Garry, he gives a 25% discount to all E60 Forum members for all OEM parts. Great guy too. Highly recommend him. I also ordered a new tire from TireRack. Now I just have to wait until Friday to get the new parts so I can take this ugly donut off my car. $600 down the drain for hitting a stupid pot hole on our fabulous NY highways.

Sorry to hear about this issue. I feel your "wheel" pain.
