Bent Rim

Hey guys, I was having a little too much fun in the snow this weekend and the left side of my car ended up hitting a curb. Now I'm stuck with a bent rim and god knows what. Just a question to you all... would the bent rim cause the car to pull in whatever direction it is on? I'm trying to figure what could be the problem, because I need to compensate by steering about 40 degrees to the right side to go straight. And does anyone know a good place to order OEM toyota wheels for cheap?

No, a bent rim might cause vibration, but will not cause a constant pull in one direction. Sounds like you've knocked that corner out of alignment. To be that far out, you may have actually bent a suspension component or two. Get it checked and repaired or adjusted before you put egregious amounts of uneven wear on your tires.

Got that fixed ASAP. Otherwise, your tires will too be ruined.
