Yes I have the Telios and they are nice. (Prefer the 5 spoke).

Keep in mind too, that the size of the rim is important, BUT the offset is equally so. For example, I tried to put on a set of 17" Subaru rims (for winters) on my wife's CT which also has 17" for OEM, but the rims hit the calipers. Even with a 1/4" spacer, the Subie rims would not fit.

Worth considering. Thanks!

I think that may be for the LS430...
I just went out for a quick shuftie of the front caliper / 19" rim barrel clearance - There doesn't seem to be quite a full inch of clearance - indicating that a 17" rim is likely a no go.
So there's my answer

Thanks for the tip!
I'm looking into this right now.

Hmmmm, that may be right. I just went and checked their sites and they don't mention 17". I will delete my post. But I could have SWORN I saw them mention 17" for better Winter traction.

There's a full set of the 2013+ OEM 18s in good shape on eBay for $925 including shipping.

There's a full set of the 2010-12 version in good shape for $1045 including shipping.

Various 2007-09 18s in good shape are available individually quite cheap. It would be easy enough to assemble a set.

I'd sell you mine as I've been itching to upgrade to the '08-'12 600hL wheels... but they're chrome.

No worries, roadfrog. Appreciate the input.

Thanks for this info. I ordered a set of 2013+ OEM 18's.
Honestly, I prefer the dated styling of the 5-spoked wheels, but the newer split-5's are attractive and have the hollow (noise reducing) feature I've been curious about.

Put some Pirelli P7 Plus on those bad boys and you'll be riding great!

I think those are exactly what I'll get.
Can't wait to hear what the change will (not) sound like!
