Default Help! Curb hit! Advice Plz??

it was raining pretty hard last week in CA and I was pulling into a blockbuster when I hit a curb with my passneger side front wheel. Was going about 10-15 mph when I hit it. The next day when I had decent light to look at the damage, there was visible damage on the plastic wheel cover but I couldnt really see anything on the wheel itself (there probably is, though I don't see how the curb could have hit the plastic cover without going thru the wheel itself first). I've been driving the car around town for the past week with no noticeable shakes or vibrations, but now I'm a little worried because tommorrow I'm making a trip down to LA, a good 450 miles on the freeway

Any advice?

You really need to check your attitude. People on SL are mostly friendly. There is no need for these kind of remarks

Have that wheel checked for runout and also have your alignment checked. It's always better to be safe than sorry. I'd hate to see your front tires start wearing out prematurely. Good luck and keep us posted of the results Bro!
