“Three year ago I bought 4 sportiva wheels for my 1998 Toyota Sienna. The model of this wheel was milano. On may 25, 2006 my wife was driving home with my 5 year old kid and on road 116 km 0.2 lajas, puerto rico one of the wheels broke in the center and my wife lost control of the minivan for a few seconds. Hopefully she and my son don't have any injuries but she was very scared. If she were driving at much higher speed at that time my wife and kid could have been killed. She was driving at 25 MPH because it was a turn. My car has damage to the front fender, brake disk, front axle, tire etc... …”
