...besides a bent rim? While I was coming home, I slid into a curb between 5-10mph while turning into my cul-de-sac. I pulled into my garage and saw that the steel wheel had bent around an edge of my hub cap. I was just wondering if there could be other damage besides the bent wheel.
I drive an '08 elantra if that helps with an answer.
 
You could have bent a tie rod which connects the steering and both front wheels, control arm could have been bent, sway bar link could have been broken. just have it checked out it would all depend on how hard you hit it.

Besides the bent rim, you probably knocked out the alignment. I would get a new rim, have the alignment checked and have them look over the front end to make sure everything looks OK.
