Default Hopped a curb

Hi, I'm new to this forum but I came here for any advice really. Unfortunately I hopped a curb head on with my crossfire at around 30mph. The curb was angled slightly and roughly 5 inches high. The steering wheel is off quite a bit and the passenger side tire wall is missing a chunk. The front tires held air long enough for me to limp home but went flat over night. Iv got new tires ordered already but I was wondering if anyone had suggestions on what to look for when I put it up on the lift. Thanks a lot

Check the rim for damage. Bent, cracked, etc.

How's the alignment? Whith the steering wheel off...it's probably not right.

Lol nice.. I would check literally everything under the car, suspension components, bushings, tie rods, wheel bearings, shocks, fuel lines, brake lines, make sure the frame is straight, check the oil pan, engine mounts, trans / pan etc.. I'm assuming you went over the curb with the possibility of scraping up the undercarriage.
