I hit the curb with passenger side rear wheel at about 15km/h this morning.
I inspected my car and I got 3 big curb rash. Visually tire (This is my winter tire - Pirelli winter ice 0) seems ok no bubbles and wheel didn't look bent, besides the rash.
I test drove it with my husband this afternoon at an empty parking lot, and we noticed no odd noises, no vibration, and car tracks straight. Should I test drive it at highway speed too?

I'd definitely get a four wheel alignment at my dealer asap. What else should I do? do you think suspension was affected?
I'm very worried and I have been down all day Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Here're some pictures:

Look up local wheel repair shops. Should be able to take care of th curb rashes for you for $100~$150.

Otherwise I wouldn't worry too much about it. Didn't look like you damaged anything else with these rashes.

You are probably fine. After I scraped my 19" sport wheel, it was $180 to refinish it to remove the scrapes. $150 to refinish and $30 to mount and dismount.

Thank you so much for your reply. I will look for a wheel repair shop in my city. We have really bad roads here.. probably the worst in North America.

Based on the minimal damage and the slow speed, I wouldn't worry about any suspension issues. Just aesthetics.

You can fix that yourself and it isn't difficult - a little time consuming

Watch some of these YouTube fixes...

Thank you all for responding I feel much better now.

I will take it to the dealer for an alignment just to be sure. Then I will deal with these curb rushes 🤕
