Bented my rim

Recently ran over a deep pothole and busted my front left rim.
It was a Rial Salerno with Blizzard LM-60.
There was a significant bulge the size of a silver dollar on the sidewall of the tire.

The tires have seen 2 winters of light use...maybe 6000-8000 KM's...

Can I just replace the 1 rim/tire of the same brand...or should I replace all 4 tires,....or the 2 front tires?

Just get that tire and wheel replaced. When you have the wheels taken off, check to see whether it is actually damaged or just bulging due to the bent wheel.
