I don't think you have much recourse...you can ask them and/or sue them...
but beyond asking it is likely to be much more hassle than it is worth...plus, it will likely be very difficult to prove that you were obeying the likely 20 mph or less speed limit of the parking lot and still bent the rim...plus...if you were driving as slow as you were likely to have been supposed to in a parking lot, they may question why you could not see the giant pothole and just drive around it...
Just playing the oppositional side of things...good luck, hope you get your money easily...

I would sy that you would be very lucky to get compensation by ...
going down the legal/threat route. They will have a disclaimer that will cover them in the event of you hitting an obstacle in their road or parking area and it looks to me as if you had to be going at least 30 or so.
I have bent many rims in this way and only once managed to get compensation.
Try the more friendly approach - how good customer you are etc....you may get 50%.
Best of luck.
