    Get a new wheel. Having to pay so much to have it fixed is not worth it.

    He has bigger problems than just buying a new wheel. A new wheel will not fix his alighnment. Buying a new wheel is the easy part.

    You should see what is bent and try to buy the parts used. I know for sure hitting a curb will not cause frame damage. You most likely bent some suspension parts.

    Good luck

    Anything is possible I managed to bend the Frame on a 90 Camaro RS by hitting a curb around a left hander nobody believed it but it happend. But chances are that you might of just bent the control arm or the hub and a strut.
    I good luck on getting her back on the road

    You could try using crash bolts to get the alignment back to spec.
