Default A Rebirth

I was always happy with my 3rd Gen GS350 from doing powerslides and attending trackdays (not the run of the mill GS owner), I never felt bored except for the past couple of months, my eyes turned dull when I looked at it, it needed a spice of life. So I went and talked to Jay at Braver (Exec Studio), we discussed, thought, discussed some more, thought some more, and then decided on a plan!

Went with Klassen Leichtmetallrader wheels! http://www.klassenid.com/

They are real 3-piece forged rims, before we put them on the car, I could pick the rear with tires with one hand, 25-35ibs has it felt not sure on exact weight, also wanted something strong, due to Klassen's quailty and craftsmanship it was the perfect choice!

I lost the specific specs, I'll get them later but the pictures speak for themselves, not the best pics but I'll get some betters ones when paul and I shoot Heng350's car and Tommys! Shooting in Los Angles tomorrow to get some better pics for you guys!

Have a couple more surprises coming soon, so keep checking back!

The Toyo T1R's ride real smooth and quiet.

Enjoy!

Congrats Valli! Saw this car in person last night, and it looks FANTASTIC with those wheels. If there's anybody who will test the quality and craftsmanship of these wheels, it's Valli...
