Could be a squeaky bearing/bent axle shaft on the rear axle, but then again its hard to tell without seeing more detailed pictures, etc...

Sorry that happened. Halloween seems to be more dangerous than even New Years Eve for driving some years. Glad you're ok. Try to remain calm because the stress isnt helping. Just focus on what you can fix and break it down into the little problems that you can solve. The super glue idea on the sidewall I've never heard of but it kinda makes sense...if you cant afford new tires. Then on the wheels almost any wheel is repairable and from a cosmetic perspective plastidip can make it less painful to look at. Don't forget to look at your local craigslist for replacement parts on the cheap and find people willing to negotiate.

Wishful thinking. Its the axle. Impacting a curb on the outside of the wheels would not cause damage to the braking system. The force of the impact is directed into the axle shaft at a far enough distance from the center, via the wheel, to cause it to bend permanently. Now you have the brake rotor not spinning true because it is also located on the end of the axle shaft. This is why it rubs in one place during rotation. When the brakes are applied the squeak goes away because the caliper slides compensate for the small wobble caused by the bent axle and the brake pad makes contact for the whole rotation.

Makes sense, when I get it on the lift tomorrow I'll get some more detailed pics

This is what I was thinking also.
Make sure you check the front end over pretty good also, tie rods both inner and outer bend rather easy as well as the A arm mounts. Make sure the rear end is still centered also, this will need to be done on the ground since it moves over when raised.

Repairing a wheel with that much damage will cost $200+/wheel. They have to weld in additional aluminum and then re-machine and completely re-finish the wheel. Might be worth it, might not. And that's if the wheel is not bent. It's usually not worth it except with high dollar OEM wheels.

I had a little car back into my 2010. It's bumper hit the top of my tire. No damage apparent but of course it wouldn't drive straight. A new right front strut and alignment later and it was good as new. About $350. And that was just a light tap. Suspensions are just not designed to handle force from the sides. Up and down and a little give front to rear and that's it.

Hey sniff.. sniff...If you lived by me I'd donate my old OEM's to your cause just to get you rolling on a planted set of 4....19's though??? P-zeros "meh". But you're in Texas dude. Feelin bad for you...especially since I have to dodge deers almost every morning and some evenings. And after having hit one once while I was between jobs....(SRT 4)

I know your pain.

Get past this and focus on your interviews.... It will get better with a steady job under your belt.

thankfully the wheels were aweful looking so you can upgrade to something awesome next. Sorry about the damage though. I had a similar looking bit of damage to my GTO a few years ago when I jumped a curb to avoid wrecking the car. Wrecking my wheels was easier than wrecking the car.
