Where do i go from here? (Wheel Problem)

Just now accidentally hit a curb on my way to work @ 5 a.m

Totally just zoned out and was also pretty tired. And now i'm a bit stressed.

Thing is i'm not sure where to go from here, Here are some pics of the damages, Not the best quality because my droid camera isnt the best at night i guess





Based on the photos, Do you guys think i should try and get the wheel fixed and put the tire back on. if its even an option.

Or buy 1 new rim and get the tire put on

Also, will i need another Alignment? i just got one a week ago and have a warranty if that even matters :\

After inspecting the tire i think it is okay, little skid marks but can be repaired, thank god, Don't wanna spring on new nittos again.


edit: Can post better pics when sun comes up

see if you can get new barrels from the manufacture then take them to a wheel repair shop to finish off the rest.

^ this looks like a 1 piece wheel.

What kinda of wheel is it? Most shops start a lip repair at about $200 depending how severe the bend is. If the wheels are only worth $300 a piece then I'd buy a new wheel instead of repairing the old one.
