OK, seriously. A tire absorbing a hard impact ain't particularly comforting for the wheel bearings / suspension. It is strong though, but not made of Kryptonite. Were you also required to replace the suspension of your 1M ?
I'm not 100% sure I get the widow eye roll comment but no with new wheels and tires everything aligned and no vibration or other symptoms of further damage. They replaced some underbody panels and no other suspension pieces were needed but the shop had thought there would be other parts necessary to replace.
