Torque and Chrome

Hit curb at about 30 mph?

I didn't slow down for a turn. Dumb on my part. It's fun taking corners sharp. I don't do it anymore after this. But I was at a light and i took a left turn real quick and I saw a motorcycle come up on the same direction I was turning, so i swerved a bit to not hit them. And i hit a draining ditch curb. It was loud. I almost lost control. I'm a young driver. And So then I pulled over off the road. and the right passenger side rim was scratched. And my tires were okay. I was frickin scared. Now theres some scratches on it. Only on a certain part. Will it rust. They are custom. I don't know if they are chrome or aluminum. And I don't have enough money to take it to the shop yet. This is my car and I don't want my parents to know. Do I need to get anything checked out also? My signal light came off too and I shoved it back in. I drove it today. It's not moving on its on. Driving like it always has. Just wanna be sure

1. try checking the alignment. if you hit the curb you probably knocked out the alignment. you can wait to check it, but by that time you would have eeaten the tire up.
2. Good job Ricky, You may have bent the rim, you might have damaged the tire also, it may show up later with a bubble in the sidewall. You most likely knocked the front end out of alignment? Do you notice any difference in the ride or is the car pulling to one side now when you are driving or hitting the brakes? Going fast on turns are very hard on tires, it will wear the outside tread down pretty quick. It's your car, so do what you want. But you did ask.
3. hello. I agree with your station of 'dumb on my part'. Hopefully you can learn from this event. I don't know how young you are. How is the car driving now, does it need alignment? I cannot give you the riding you feel you need now. when you drive on a road, any road, it will have traffic you did not expect or wish for.
