Default Are these real 18" Teleios?
I'm thinking about buying these wheels but haven't seen them in this particular color. They're like a black chrome? Or are these replicas?

Are they new or refinished/refurbished? Who is selling them? I've never seen that black chrome color on the factory Teleios and I haven't seen any replicas on e-bay.

Interesting, the ones I've seen just looked like regular chrome - maybe I wasn't paying much attention to the color (not big into chrome wheels)!

Not really sure, found them on craigslist and the guy is asking $600. I just picked up a black Acura RL and they seem like they would look good on it.

Mine are reg chrome. $600 bucks is not a bad deal, actually it's a good considering it's OEM Lexus wheel upgrade ($2,200).

Default Teleois Wheels
At dealership I have only seen them in Regular Chrome and I have a set on my 2012. I got them when I purchased the car new and they charged me at their cost. I looked it up to be sure!
