After you get home, if you need a rim, I have a swirly rim sitting in my parents garage you can have. I am never going to need it.

Go to autozone, get a caliper bolt, replace caliper bolt, either borrow a spare tire or find a local salvage yard and get a spare tire to mount to get you home. Make sure you mount the spare up front and relocate a front tire to the back. Drive the speed limit home and periodically make sure you brakes are still hanging on.
