Default 18 inch Teleios Wheels

Here is a pic of the Teleios Wheels on a black 460.

They are more of a black chrome finish.

Some may like it, some may not. Just figure this might help you decide...

Cool pic but I'm not a big fan of that wheel desing. My personal taste is for less spokes but wider, like the ones offered in 19" by Lexus on the touring package.

OR.... on the other extreme, I like the Wald design on the 20" that has 100s of thin spokes. Nice looking wheels but for sure a pain to keep them clean.

I think they look a bit small, plus chrome's not my thing. But not bad!

Not exactly my cup of tea, it's not bad, but I like the 19" 7-spokes shown with the LS600hL in auto shows the best among the stock wheels for the LS so far.

Those rims are hundred times better, more exclusive and more sporty looking than stock 18'. They look magnificent on black car.

But the cars is so huge that 18' don't do it a justice like on GS. 19' are minimum IMO

Same here. Not a huge fan. Maybe if they were 20's with low profile tires, but definitely not in 18's. Sorry, just my .02 cents.

Hi Twnflyr:

It seems that your tyre is Bridgestone, can you give Turanza ER30 or GR80?
