rear wheel accident help!!!

i'll spare you the details, basically i took a left turn to fast lost control and slid into a curb damaging my right rear wheel. luckily it was late in the night and no one was hurt, besides my ego, but im really scared right now. my whole rim is kinda cracked, my tire is flat, and the oil light thing came on in my dash.

the first thing i did was come here and start searching, but it was mostly about the front wheel like damage to the control arms, stabilizer, etc.... i was wondering what the worst case scenerio might be and the damage costs to the REAR wheel, what might be damaged, etc... any help will be appreciated im just really scared right now.

The wheel or the whole assembly?

Well you do have a trailing arm back there with a control arm attached to it. You could have bent a number of things. It is hard to tell without seeing a picture.

well, isn't there a brake cable system to the drum brake?

that's why....i think....it's probably messed up right now..

how about converting the rear brake to the SI's rear brake?
