I don't remember their proper name, but I believe those are you balancing weights. When you tires were last balanced they use small weights attached to the wheel to make the tires "even". Looks like you may have popped one of those off. You may well be OK without it, but you should be able to get a tire shop to balance your tires for you for $5-10 per tire.

that is just a wieght, just go to any tire store and get your tires rebalanced.btw, that wheel looks like hell

you mean after hittingi knowit looks terribledo you think the tire shop can repair it (i pay for it if cheap)or dont waste the money?and do you know how much will it ganna be?

the bad looking rim will have to be replaced due to the fact it looks like you broke off the lip from the rim. It's the same sort of problem as a bent rim not safe to drive on.

Oooo nice purty scratches. I know how ya feel brotha, Ive dinged a few rims in my times. I would honestly get a new rim and throw that tire on it and then get it balanced. But thats just my .02

I'd get it balanced just in case, if you don't your tire could wear faster than the others. Then after some time I'd replace the wheel entirely to match the rest so its not all dinged up. But that comes later when or if you have the money.
