could it be damaged bearings in the upright. but that kind of sound would get louder and faster when car speeds up.
In any case a struck to the front wheel which results in rim damage should really go to the dealer and have them check it out.

You really don't want to have the same thing happened to me. The rack of the steering mechanism broke in half while I was at speed (circuit racing), and I head to the tire wall and the car flipped 1.5 times. (not a Z) The rack had tiny fracture in it from previous small impact to the tire.
