Guess that wasn't the right place to save a few bucks...Bummer.
Plus you can get the same tires at a better price in aftermarket...

Before ya remove the back wheel I would get back of bike up off the ground & using an "indicator" slowly turn the wheel to check the rim for possible run-out damage as well..

Just FYI, a good rim will still have a slight bit of run-out....

I would be very carefully inspecting everything..
Hope they are gonna pay for yer damage(s)..

Look at yer caliper in around the pads as well..

Hope you get sorted out..
