cut off, hit curb, alignment?

ok so some guy cut me off today and all i could do to not get hit was go to the right, not noticing the curb to the right because it was an instinct reaction. anyway so i hit the curb, bent the passenger side rim, and now when i drive straight the wheel needs to be turned abit to the right, nothing looks out of place from underneath the car, with the exception of the bent rim.

my question is, is this probly just an alignment that needs to be done at this point ? (and obviously getting a new rim) or could this problem potentially go deeper?

thanks.

if it looks and drives ok, it might be alright. might want to check the struts, cv joint, etc. if you're worried about it, get a mechanic to look at it.
