suggestions on what could be wrong with my car

ok well i was driving back home on that one day of snow and my car whiped out on a turn and i smashed my front left rim into a curb and my problem is that my steering wheel is turned right when the tires are straight. anyone got any suggestions on what the problem might be?

bent or broken one or more of the following

lower control arm and bushings
tie rod inner or outer
ball joint upper and lower
upper control arm
wheel bearing
bent rim
bent subframe

those are some of the possible problems.

like everyone said, you will need an alignment shop to tell you what you broke and to get it back into alignment for you.
