Default Tire Rub

I was parking this morning and I accidentally rubbed my tire against the curb. i went out out my car and saw the black mark on the curb.

this is my front driver side wheel.

NO curb rash to the wheel but i am paranoid if any damage may have occured.

It was a slight rub and i dont see any marks on the tire.

There is no such thing as 'just a little scratch.'

Why can't people understand that.

can it cause any damadge to the car?

I see people who have rashed their rims. can it cause misalignment?

only the tire rubbed so no contact with the rim at all.
