i did something really stupid today. i made a right turn too fast and too tight and end up hitting the curb with my right rear wheel. there is a 5 inch scratch, mostly shallow except two spots with > 1/16" deep. i thought the car runs a little rough at times since then.
do you guys think i might have damaged the wheel bearing or am i just halucinating? the rough ride occurs when slowing down and only happens intermittently.

Could be bent wheel, bearing, or axle or A-arms. Start with the bearing, then wheel, then axle, then A-arms...
Oh yea, and don't feel too bad, your not the only one that has ever done something like that.

I think it would be advisable to take the car to a qualified shop and simply have the suspension and the wheel checked for damage and ensure the wheel alignment is still in good shape. These cars are pretty tough, and would be surprised if you did any damage, other than the cosmetics damage to the wheel.

That should be about right. If the bearing is damaged as you described, it will typically fail in about 1000 miles or so depending on how hard you drive. If it's still good when you have the tire changed, it's unlikely it got seriously damaged.
