I don't have a 3GS but i love the stance & fitment of this one
I am actually curious to see other designs of this wheel maker.

ummm... brakes?! lol, my next set of wheels might not clear if I get BBK. Everything else is a... Yes?

Exhaust IMO is perfect. Higher RPM goes quiet, great for highway driving. Lower RPMs give a nice growl, something similiar to a G35. I can have someone work on a video for me, I'll see what he can do.

You can check out their website. I'm not sure if I can put it on here, but just google "Breed Wheels." Their wheels are aimed for highend exotics but they are coming out with a line that is toned down for people like "us" lol



Thanks for the compliments guys.

you have gs350 with factory big brakes. the calipers are actually fatter than a lot of aftermarket bbk. unless you get some very weird spoke design that curves in faster after the caliper, or you are getting 17s (i am going to ban you if you do that, haha), i actually think there is a good chance bbk will fit

Front, yes. Rear, no. LOL, can't get the fronts without the rears. After the grille, I'm done modding... I hope!

Yeah, I'm on Ksport coilovers. It could go another 1-2" easy but that is where things get a little tricky.

Sure, if that's what floats your boat.

EK, Love ur ride (not more than mine) but still love ur ride. Very clean. I think those wheels look awesome and your stance is great. I don't know about the color of your car though, you wouldn't catch me in that color(kidding of course).
Great job dude
