Default I am sooo pissed right now

so its raining like hell here in auburn and i was goin around the corner to my apt like I always do giving the car no gas at all when I start to hydroplane and hit the curb.....my perfect rims now are 3 perfect rims and one that doesnt just have curb rash but curb damage. Also myright front tire, which is the one that hit, it turned a little to the right....I know there are caster camber adjustments but are there toe in and out ones also??? Im pretty sure I just wanna make sure I didnt **** anything major up. so should I just go get an alignment now???

That friggin sux big time. I would definitely get an alignment check as well as to see if you bent your rim. There are toe-in/out adjustments, but you don't want to do that . It only increases wear on the inner or outer shoulders of your tire.

I dont think the rim is bent at all but I think it just needs to be realigned.....it is plenty drivable I just have to turn the wheel a little to stay straight....at worst I think I just bent a rotor....but I am still pissed....I am never gettin sumitomos again....they suck at rain traction....I literally hydroplane on the road all the time with them

damn, I just got my mustang too and reading this is making me nervous. You guys ever try putting sand bags in the trunk to offset the weight in the front of the car? How do you guys drive you stangs in the winter?
