i can tell you that i haven't had a problem (yet) with large potholes, but I did on my 19" (rim bent and sidewall ballooned out). my fault though.
its a pretty expensive proposition in maintenance or replacement. i'd be very careful!

You bent a 19??! Wow, that must have been some bump... 19's have quite a bit of sidewall. Was the tire underinflated, by chance?
I'm not too worried about scratching (as I'm pretty carefull with parallel parking against curbs, etc) I just don't want to be destroying wheels over unavoidable potholes.
