If you had pics of the damage then it would be easier to help you out but w/ out pics its hard to say how much it would roughly cost to fix it...

sounds like your front suspension shifted backwards. not good. frame could possibly be tweaked.

Control arm, axle, tie rod, etc. Get it checked out by a professional.

I did that to my turbo PT and it was FUBAR... Traded it, that is how I got the Evo IX. I hope yours can be fixed right.

Get some pics up for us!

Honestly, insurance. Its going to cost a lot more than youd think to fix it.

I had them straighten a stock Enkei for me when I bought a salvage set of wheels. $100 - a lot cheaper than a new wheel.

A lot of people are posting advise to post an insurance claim. Worst case senario is that your car may be f'ck'd up. Maybe it's something small, but from the sounds of it, probably not. I would follow that advise about the insurance and find a good shop with people you can trust. That's what you're paying for, right?
