Took the wheel off to see the damage.
It is very minor, no bent to the wheel, just very minor scratches (it actually looks bad from the picture since the wheel was dirty from the brake dust), and the tire rip isn't as bad as I thought. The tires have about 5/32 inch of tread left so maybe its has about less than 10k.

Another thing I notice is the brake pads. It has about 3mm left on them at 16k miles, pretty low for any car. My STI with performance pads lasted more than 40k miles.

My Bridgestone on my RWD F-sport lasted 32K miles.. I should have replaced them at 31K cus the tread started to separate. I have a co-worker with an IS350 RWD luxury and his Bridgestones lasted 31K before the tread started to separate.
