Ok, so on the way to work this morning (in a ton of snow) I slid off the road at low speed (~5MPH). It was a low curb (didn't touch the front bumper), but it was definatly a hit, sort of like hitting a large pothole. No warnings or TPMS on the dash, and the car seemed ok although I only got up to about 20MPH in the rest of the trip in the snow, so i couldn't feel anything re: alignment. I looked at the rim, and theres a small indent in the lip where the impact was, and a tiny piece of rubber missing from the tire.

Anything to watch out for with this? I've know people who've bent their frames hitting curbs before, and I really hope this hasn't happened as the car is brand new.
