Question Vibrations after Pothole?

I have about 14,500 miles on my 05 TL.
I recently hit a pothole pretty hard on the front passenger side tire.
Now when i hit 40+ miles an hour i get these crazy vibrations.
does anyone know what this could be? or should I just take it in.

1 - You should take it in ASAP! as you probably damaged the wheel or tire and driving around with a cracked wheel is potentially hazardous to your health!

Best regards

I second frenchnew's opinion about taking it in right away. You likely bent the wheel badly and/or messed up the tire so that it is no longer round (and probably has a nasty bubble), hence the violent vibrations at 40+ mph.

bent wheel or your alignment is in need of adjustment. probably a bent wheel on the inside of the rim
