Default Wheel/s trashed?

Ok so another day in philly...make a long story short. Crazy lady out of nowhere runs me off the road, i hit a curb with my front and back passenger tire, i spin around and i'm stuck in the middle of the road as the crazy lady drives away. Call the cops they do nothing becuase i didn't get a license plate #, ijust had the make and model (suburban, purple color). So what do you guys think just new rims/fix rims, just new tires or both. And are these rims safe to drive on for a couple of weeks. i think the front is ok. I do think the tires are shot. thanks

They might be okay, just go throw them on a balancer. I ran over a brick and one of mine was toast on my GT last year...

The rims are completley safe... but a good shine shop can clean em up almost new! The tires SHOULD be replaced... but if they are not leaking air I wouldnt worry about it! I have driven on and seen driven on tires in ALOT worse shape!
