^ here's what she wrote in her words. Btw it was the wheels that broke which caused the accident as described by her. But if you ask me If they broke because of poor craftsmanship then I think she at the very least should get some kind of compensation wether it be a discount on new Chikara's or a new set I mean the company should stand behind they're product right? just my 0.02

I was driving in a tunnel and suddenly my car started swerving. I was afraid that one of my tires blew out, but after I finally came to a stop I found that my rim broke on me and separated from my tire. Thank God for the Anti-Slip function on our cars... it helped me control the car with minimal damage & I suprisingly didn't crash into any walls. I tried contacting the company 88Rotors and they haven't taken responsibility. They told me that they haven't seen anything like this happen. I had to replace my rear camber arms and also my rear struts.

This is where the famous " You get what you pay for" saying comes into play. I doubt this would ever happen with some of the legit companys. (Volk, DPE, HRE, etc)
