Default Lexus wheel/rim question

This is not a cross-post. I am asking my local asian brothas and sistas this because they prolly have more experience than me when it comes to cars.

My ES350 hit a sharp curb while i was turning right. The darn curb nicked my rear wheel rim pretty bad. Living in LA this is kinda common I suppose.

My question is: How do i know if my rear axle needs re-alignment or repairs. How easy is it to damage the wheel axle? Finally, does anyone know how much it cost to replace a Lexus wheel rim if it gets trashed? I almost wished it were a hub cap so i can replace it at will.

if you only curbed the wheels and not HITTING it hard, i double the axle is damaged. if you dont' feel vibration or so when driving, i think you are fine. probably just wheel damage

i don't know of repair shops down in socal
