Default Son hit tree... LTZ 250 needs help!

Hey guys, had a rough weekend. My son hit a tree and gave us quite a scare. He is ok but lots of bruises. The left tire hit a tree and flipped him off. Now the handle bars have to be turned to the right to drive straight and it turns sharper to the left that to the right. I checked all the welds on the frame and a arms and everything seems ok. The tie rods and steeting stem appear straight too. I am puzzed as what might be off. Any ideas? Thanx in advance!

Might be a bent rim and/or a tweaked A arm

I checked the rim, A-arms, brackets and frame thoroughly. I am hoping it is the tie rod ends because they are the least expensive part. I will remove them tonight and see what they look like.
