I was run off the road in to a curb last week and bent two wheels. Since then the car pulls slightly to the right... I figured it was just an alignment

Now I can see the wheel that made the biggest impact sits further back in the wheel well.

I don't have any wheel vibrations, or any noise other than the bent wheel (ordered new VMR's, will be here monday...)

I attached an image of the wheel which seems to be off, as well as the wheel position needed to keep the vehicle driving straight...

I plan on getting an estimate at a body shop, trying to do out of pocket, what are your thoughts on this?

I did the same thing last week! The curb was covered in snow. I didn't even see it until it was too late...I bent both lower control arms and my subframe on the driver's side. I was quoted $2700 for parts and labor. I'm going the cheap route and doing it myself. Got all the parts used on craigslist for about $200 and I'm still in the process of tearing everything apart. It's taking longer, but I saved myself over two grand.
