While i am not usually a fan of rims over 17inches on a 4x4, i like these. Rig looks great. What kind of brakes and rotors are those? How much better does it stop?

I didn't want to go bigger than 17", but was forced to because of the brakes which are prototypes for SEMA. The brake manufacturer is Rotora. They normally make performance big brake kits for sports cars but they also do some SUVs and this is their only kit for the FJ at the moment. They are 6-piston front and 4-piston rear with giant rotors
I think 355mm for the front and 335mm for the rear rotors. Braking feel is much improved, no more mushyness, but with the big front bumper it dives a lot now. I'm gonna tune it out with a bit of suspension work (TRD shocks, etc.) so we'll see how that does, but otherwise they're great.
I'm really happy with those wheels. They are a +0 offset so they actually are a tiny bit outside of the fenders, it gives it a very nice aggressive look. Plus the really deep dish of the wheel will mean only superficial damage to the spokes on the rocks. They do make those wheels in a 17" as well.
