E) if the pressure did not hold (when using the tire pressure sealing kit) then you should have called Road Side Assistance.
In doing one or the other above you would have assured your expensive rim was not damaged or your suspension affected. You might have even saved your expensive tire and they may have been able to repair it.
Now you may need a new tire and wheel ... cost estimated over $1000- on your car.

The tire pressure kit really only works for punctured tires, not bent wheels where the seal is broken on the edge.
