possible damage

my car skid out of control and side hit a curb at about 15-20 km/h... what kind of potential damage could this have done?

Rims may have gotten scuffed.
Tires may have broken a belt...doubt it.
maybe throw out your alignment....
probably not a whole lot of stuff.

Does it feel like something is damaged??

If the front end of the car hit the curb then check your control arms and (26)crossmember (especially where the control arm bolts attach to) as well.

Tire sidewall belt broken-check for a 'ripple' in the otherwise smooth rubber, bent rim, maybe a bent lower control arm, definately the alignment's out. Get that checked if nothing else is visible. It'll tell you the most.
