Hit a curb at around 15-20 mph-- damaged rim and got flat tire-- could anything else have been damaged? 200 1991

I still can't find my hubcap and it figures this would happen right after I had replaced the inner and outer tie rods and bought new tires.

Ok, I hit the curb, heard air leave tire, and stopped the car. Then I could not, for the life of me, take the lug nuts off. Damn, Tires Plus put those things on so tight...even jumping on the wrench did nothing so I had to call AAA.

The next day I had to go to a junk yard to get a used steel rim and had the tire reinstalled on that rim.

Now the car seems to be pulling very slightly to the driver's side and the steering wheel is slightly off-center.

My question is if the car is just in need of alignement or if I could have damaged anything else? No visible damage is noticible.

Thanks,
