I am worried

Is there a gouge in the rim?

a gouge, no

Then the tire sidewall took the brunt of the impact and you really have little to worry about. (Besides the sidewall failing, that is.)

thx DtEW

however, i wasn't stating it in full correctness...

here is my previous post

I bumped into a curb.
What can I do?? It has a sratch on the circumference of the rim?

any product to smoothen the scratch??

Then it's less clear-cut. Determine if the force necessary to produce the severity of the scratch is enough to tweak any of the cast iron and stamped steel suspension components. Although entirely non-scientific, it helps to see how your suspension is configured when the whel is off to guess-timate the severity of the forces.

I will try to take pictures if possible, but i think that will unlikely to happen since I only have a webcame, and I don't have a scanner.

Well, thx DtEW

A totally non scientific way to check your alignment: Go find yourself a nice flat straight road. Drive on it and point yourself straight. Let go of your wheel. If your car drifts off to one side your alignment is off, if you keep going straight then you're okay. So accurate, I know...
