Default so i hit a curb...

yeah me, stupid idiot, was taking a left hand turn from a stop and got distracted by a cop. next thing i know CLUNK! couldnt have hit it more than fifteen miles an hour. pulled over less than a mile down the road. besides the rim being chewed to ****, everything seemed (and i stress seemed) O.K. drove home and no weird noises or anything so i took it on the highway and it seemed fine. is there anything that i should be concerned about? everything looked and felt solid with no weird noises. note: car pulls to the right slightly but it did that before the idiot moment.

if you are on stock wheels, you have a ton of tire...if the car is driving the same as it did before than it sounds like you just fu<ked the finish up...time to re-spray the wheel, good sunday afternoon project...

I would pull the wheel, double check that there are no hailine cracks on the wheel....

also I would wipe down the entire suspension on the impact side....just spray some cleaner and rub off all the road debris and make sure that the control arms aren't bent outa shape or cracked anywhere....

also, sounds like the perfect time for an all wheel alignment!

gl!

pics when you get a chance please!
