okey i am 200 miles away from home and am already an hour behind schedule to leave. I hit a curb and now my front right tire/rim is severly bent outward on top. So if you use a little imagination it looks like this / the top is bent away from the car and the bottom i bent in towards the car. the tire rotates fine and the rim is always bent outward on top no matter the roation of the tire. So i really really need help fast, and i dont think the car is driveable at all as is pulls severly to one side, and i need to go 200 miles... please help me

I'd recommend having it towed and then call your insurance company when you get home...The way you've described it doesn't sound like a simple easy fix.

Do you have any pics of the car in the condition as is?

The car needs to be towed. You have probably bent the control arm, the frame, and possibly the shock and strut. I wish I had a better answer for you, but the car needs to be towed to a shop, and probably a shop that has a frame rack.
