Noooooooo. Anyways I would recommend having a technician check it out because we don't know what's really damaged.

The plastic thing surrounding the wheel got ripped off, cheap fix im sure, and the rim got rash a bit. The alignment is a tiny bit off and car kinda shakes past 40. I think the damage is mostly cosmetic except for that alignment. I dont want to take it to the dealer because i have a feeling it will be the wrong move

Same. It's asking for a Google username and password.

You'll probably need a new fender liner, clips for the fender liner and wheel weights if they fell off. An alignment is a must as well.

Depending on how hard you hit the curb, the vibration could be a bent wheel, instead of just a wheel weight.

plastic thing surround wheel is called the fenderliner which is cheap
alignment would be 120-200 depending on where you are going there are places near me in OC that does lifetime alignments for 200 which is a good deal, cause you will need plenty of alignments for the life of the car.

and if there arnt any visible cracks, leaks, bends on the rim i would think it is okay but u can never be sure..until you balance n unmount the tire for inspection.
i would take the wheel/rim off and look and see if anything eles is damaged

Hmm... well if the wheel hit the curb, I think the best thing for you to do is jack the car up and look to see if your lower control arm, ball joint, and tie rod end link is ok. I don't mean to alarm you, but depending on how hard you hit that curb, a bent wheel is the least of your worries.

Ouch man. That sucks.

I would make sure you check the wheel components like Pal suggested

Do you have any pics of the wheel? Or any pics of the suspension to see if anything was bent?
