Obviously, you are not a slowpoke as it says under your Username....
unless that refers to something else?

Slow is best at certain things. Ask the Tortoise, he'll tell you so. I am usually a reserved driver (I average 41 MPG) and wouldn't call this sort of driving the norm for me. But, as we humans tend to let loose from time-to-time, accidents happen. Being an adult, I've accepted the consequence for my action and have moved on. It's a tire and rim...nothing more.

What was the result of the alignment check?

Never got one. After driving about 150 miles on the rim and tires, it seems that it doesn't pull to one side or the other more than it did before. It seems at times there is a slight vibration through the steering wheel, but I can't tell if it is something that is a result of the road, our light cars, a problem associated to the accident, or just my imagination. Since nothing crazy is happening I'll chalk it up to my imagination and the natural feeling of the car.

It's possible you have a damaged wheel bearing.

If you start to hear a drone the bearing is damaged. You can also try turning the hub by hand with the wheel and rotor off and feel for a rough spot.

The rough spot thing is what I always do. Just did it on my friends van and yep she needed a new one.

My car seems to be making a funny noise at idle, which I only noticed today. The wife thinks its a rattle, so higher pitch, coming from the engine. I noticed it while slowing down and then while stopped. It sounds to me like a scratching of some sort, that has an oscillating quality to it. Either way, i'm paranoid that the little mishap I had may have caused this :-( I've taken a video and will upload it so you guys can hear it form the bay and from inside the car. Any help would be much appreciated.
