Default heavy vibration after small accident

I have a problem with my 94 hatch vibrating really bad at about 80mph....a few days ago i lost contoll of my car around a curve and slammed the brakes and one side of my car went off the road which was aoubt a 3 or 4 inch drop......maybe a bent wheel......

one of the tires has a slight dead spot from braking but the others are fine.....vibration starts around 70 mph but isnt too bad but right at 80 it gets horrible..i was thinking maybe tires out of balance....what you guys think

i have to get it fixed...friggin drivin me crazy,
thanks

wheel balance or alignment. i'm gonna guess alignment. possibly bent rim.

if all it did was drop, i don't think it would have hit any parts. just pushed the wheel. what would be low enough to hit i wonder? lower tie rod?

I dont think any suspension parts hit the ground but i did hit hard.....basically like taking a big pothole at like 60mph.....the lip of the rim is bent slightly......but very very little....and i have already tried throwing on a factory wheel for that particually wheel and still same problem....i am pretty sure it is the alignment that someone mentioned....or maybe bent axle...

anyways.....i have free balancing for life of tire....so i will take it in and try that....
thanks again guys...i appreciate it
