Default ignition switch, alignment?? rims messed, IM PISSED

sso i was driving the other day and sum ***** cut me off causing me to brake hard and swerve to avoid hitting him, it was snowy and i swerved and hit the curb on like a 60 degree angle with my driver side front tire. MY rim got mangled and is bent, then i hit the other rim when drifting around a corner. when i pushed my car DUE TO no gas i realized that my wheels are wobbling from side to side, is thisdo to the bent rims orare my axles ****ed, i did hit the curb pretty hard both times, so i think my axles may be messed, im praying their not though. and um how much would it be for new axles. and during the second crash i broke my key off in the igniton due to my hand smashing thekey, so i dropped the wheel cover and drilled out the ignitionswich ( think thats what its called) so icould get it started i did and pulled the tumbler out, so nowthats sscrewed too., how much do you guys think it will be to replace these parts

One thing Ive learned is if some MFer cuts you off or does something stupid, just hit him. He deserves it and it will make things easier for you in the long run.

Thats a pretty good start, you will need to keep your key to get into the car though, unless you have keyless, either way, if the bat dies, your screwed if you toss it. Hope you have a back-up somewhere.

Take the rims into a local place and have them balance them, if they are bent they will tell ya. Whats that like 15 bucks.

ya thats true, i do not have keyless. im gunna get a key cut so i have an extra for the door, and have a few extras for the ignition. my two front rims may be causeing the wheels to wobble, thats what my friend said if not how hard would the front axles be to install?
