I'd wager a guess that if you did that much damage to your rims, you bent your suspension as well.

I'm sorry dude do you know if the tires are messed up at all?

yeah, both tires are messed up.. theyre not that bad though, but they both have lumps or a bubble on them. i think i should be covered on tires though, cuz i got that lifetime warranty from discount tire, the only thing is that ill probably just get two from discount.. and someone was telling me that im going to have to buy two more for the otherside as well because if i drive my car with two new tires on one side and used on the other, being thats its allwheel drive, i can blow my transmission... is this true?????

Not good for your diff, yeah.

Wouldn't hurt the tranny though, I don't think.

i wouldn't want to blow up my diff or my tranny!!

running new tires on one side and old tires on the other is very bad.

some basic info on the topic.

I had a similar run in with a curb on my WRX and i bent the spindle and the strut in the rear (although i had a good amount of positive camber afterwards).

def get it looked at by a professional, slap on your stock or winter wheels and see if it will align straight.
