First things first, I would get your allignment fixed so that it doesn't mess up your tires. Are the rims that are messup on the same side of the car. I would asume that would be the worst case scenario, as the 18" wheels are off set, and you would need a front and reer rim.

oh and just so everyone knows...both tires are flat now...and the alignment is wayyyyyy off. I mean the steering wheel is like pointing to the left (left of the driver)

EDIT:

Ok I just had the chance to inspect the tires/wheels in daylight. turns out the front rim is the only one I'll need to replace, it's not bent or anything, just a 2" chunk thats gashed and bent. But the bad news is the rear tire has a huge gash on the sidewall, that definitely needs to be replaced.

P.S. Guys on the CL forum are good people's...everyone responded pretty fast.

You are absalutly right. Just didn't word my post right. I was trying to say that I wouldn't drive the car so badly out of allignment a lot or it could casue the tires to wear improperly. If the damage is just to the rims and not the rubber, then you can easely transfer them to new rims.

Thanks for the responses guys...

turns out...I only need the front wheel, also the check VSC light/Tire pressure sensor came on when I put on the spare. After putting on a new rear tire, the VSC light and check tire pressure light has come off(thank jesus, allah, buddha, and the elephant god Vishnu)...so that means the front tire (which took the brunt of the beating) is not leaking air, but still it's bent like whoaaaaaa!!! Sorry DaveGS4...you know how people get when their baby gets a shiner.
