Absolutely have the alignment and wheel checked for a bend or crack, and deal with the problem now while tire is off and you’re in the middle of a tire change. If you hit something hard enough to pop a tire that is a prime situation for the need of alignment and potentially a wheel repair. As someone mentioned already a bent or cracked wheel can be repaired. If you need help with that let me know I and I can provide info to several places in socal that do great work. Also for tires, do both sides of the axle since the other tire is going go have significantly more wear than the one that popped. The only time you want to do one corner only is if the other side of the axle is fresh. Pilot sport 4s is going to be the best bet for a street driven performance car but there are other good value options.
