The Telios are perfect as they have a dull, almost greycast to them. You need to see them in person. So far I have been very happy with them.

Thanks for the feedback. I have the same thinking in mind - nothing too "flashy" but something more sporty than the stock wheel. In your pics, they do look greycast as you mention, but in the pics posted by rdrtkd, they look a lot more chromed. I guess I'll need to see them in person to make my final decision.

Are you ready for this, Lexus-ophiles?

The Greek word for teleios means perfect, complete (from telos, end, result).

From my experience with Greek pronunciation: Tel (as in tell) i (as in the letter E) os (or Yos (as in host, minus the T))

rdrtkd - Did you have your wheels chromed? They look a bit more polished than the ones in the pics posted by jgoergen. Either way, they both look great. I'm just trying to find out if I have a choice between chrome or non-chrome in the Teleios wheel.

i am pretty sure that the telios wheel only comes in one finish. as far as the 19" touring wheel i have heard quite a few times that those wheels will not fit the non-touring vehicle.

the 19s will fit on any of the ls460, touring or non touring, it's been proven

and yes, i also believe the telios only comes in one dark chrome finish. at least all the ones i have seen so far are like that

I was lucky that my car came with the telios wheels. They're almost a gunmetal gray, but have a shine to them. Different!

They are sharp! That's why I struggle to swap them for the 19" - 5 spoke wheels which I dearly love. But every time I look at mine, I just can't change!
