Default Wheel/Tire/Brake issues?

Last weekend I sort of crashed my Z into a curb because of the snow. I took it to Nissan and they said the front 2 wheels were bent and my front tires were worn (which I knew). So they said they could repair my wheels instead of replacing them, and they replaced my front tires too, and did an alignment. I get the car back and now the car is pulsating whenever I hit the gas pedal and the tires are rumbling and sound like they are rubbing up against something. Also, the mechanic had written on my service sheet that because I had aftermarket brake pads, that would cause pulsating? I don't get that at all. There was no pulsating before I took my car to them. Now there is. Any suggestions or comments?

wheels are bent, out of balance, or combo of the two, brakes would only pulsate if rotors were warped and when brakes applied.

how do you sort of crash your car.... that is like kinda pregnant
