Default need advice

well recently i curbed my rims being a jackass and taking turns hella fast when its cold. so i destroyed my rim and did some suspension damage. so i got new ball joints and tierods and stuff..well i still have 3 degrees of positive camber. belle tire couldnt tell me why. im basically wanting to know if any knows somebody that could fix pretty bad rim and a good guy for suspension stuff. i think its either my lower control arm or strut. i cant find my rims any where they are 17" arelli temypst. discontiuned in 03 and my bolt pattern sucks at 5 on 108. the car has 142, 000 miles on it and it runs very well. should i invest in gettin it all fixed and paying about 500 for rim repair or just wait till next car? pretty much just wanted to kno if anyone had any hook ups. oh yeah its a 2000 ford taurus.

what the rim looks like now.

what it looked like when it was pretty.

I know rim shops will repair bent rims, but if they're split like that I doubt there's much they can do. Don't know about the excessive pos camber though, something else might have got bent up too.

3 degrees of positive camber[sm=yikesomg.gif],what does the sheet metal look like
up top for the strut-it took-one hell of a hit to jack that rim(keep looking you will find one!)
usually the damage-that leaves alignment readings like that is up top!!if not you can see what is
bent-however,i work on german cars,3+ is too much-for any car!!!check all the suspension
control arms-to start!!!-damaged parts should be visible with those readings
