Ouch! :cry:

Is the wheel bent?

Looks like you got lucky, at least a control arm is easily replaceable and you can find it at any junk yard.

Sorry to hear that. As long as no-one gets hurt, only bruised egos Low profile(wide) wheels and snow(ice) don't mix unless there are winters on them. Careful.......

Go to a good tire shop and ask them to put the tire on the balancing machine...they can tell you if the rim is still okay.
