Default Help! 180ed into a ditch!

OK guys this happend like 20 mins ago. I was going around a corner hit ice overcorrected and ended up in a ditch. Now my front right tire makes noise. I can't tell if the rim is bent but i tihnk it might be. I'm going to go get it aligned hopefully tomorrow at less schwab. Lets say i did just bent the rim, if i change the front right tire and put the spare on should the noise it is making stop if it was only a bent rim. Any other ideas on what the noise could be from? I have to look at the car more carefully tomorrow but i think the front right tire looks like one side is in more then the other, like it has camber to it when it shouldn't. If you live in the redmond, wa area let me know if you can take a look at it and see what you think. Thanks for any help

i'm sorry to hear about your problem though, that's a sketchy situation.. especially hiding it from the parents.. good luck.

Thanks, any ideas and what could be making the noise? Im gonna try to ding king two fo the 3 dents. They are small ones on the very bottom of the door, no scratches that i can see. there is a small dent between the black part of the lower trim and the front passanger door. If i cant ding king that what do you guys suggest. I might even leave it but if it's not to expensive to fix then i might as well do it
