Which of these Two Wheels is Objectively Better? Stock Aluminum vs HF-5?

My stock rim was badly bent due to a pothole. It was a pretty deep pothole admittedly, at just a bit over 30mph.

Hence why im considering a "stronger" alternative.

I think you would be better served stepping down to an 18" rim and getting more sidewall then trying to find a stronger rim. As others noted, stock rims are "cheap" and plentiful, not sure you can beat them in a 19".

I bought a single rim on ebay right after I got my car, and then a tire and TPMS and made myself a full size spare. Rim was $499 back in October. Even though I'm selling my set, I'll still keep the spare.

Yeah finding a well priced stock set of rims with fairly new tires would be a score. Bronze or not.
