Default My LS460 L With Teleios Wheels

Here is a picture of my car with the Teleios Wheels. I think they make the car look sportier.

Default Are they chrome

Hi, I'm new to these boards (as you can tell since this is my first post), and I joined because I'm planning to buy an LS460 in the next few weeks. I'm not a huge fan of the standard wheels and wanted to hear more from those of you who have other wheels - particularly the Teleios 18"s. How do you like them so far? I have not seen them in person and can't quite tell from the pictures, so can you tell me if they are chrome finished? And any other feedback you have about these wheels would be much appreciated.

Meanwhile, I'm also interesed in the 19"s that come with the touring package on the 460L, but I'm not planning to get the L car. Does anyone have any experience, ideas and/or suggestions as to how to go about getting the 19"s for the standard 460? Is it even possible?

Thanks in advance for any help!

The teleios is an improvement over the regular 18's that comes with the LS460, & I think they look better in person than on pics.

In Canada, C$2500

I've heard $1500 to $2000 in the U.S.

here in the US i think it's about 1500 too 2000 more. i don't know if that's the case for all, but all the teleios i have seen are dark chrome finish, very nice. much better than stock.

also, the 19s from the touring package will fit on the swb no problem

Default Telios Wheels

Hi!

I posted the picture at the top of the thread. The picture doesn't do them justice. I personally wasn't interested in anything "flashy", but instead wanted a subdued sporty look to go with the sportiness of the car. 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.

Check EBay for wheels. I've seen some very good deals on wheels there. Much cheaper than the dealer. I purchased mine from the dealer and should have looked around first...

i bought the telios wheels when i bought the car. in my opinion they are much better than the stock wheels. i have always had a hard time understanding why lexus does not provide a better wheel...especially at the price of the car. i have posted a pic.

the cost of the wheels including the cost of the tire pressure sensors and take back of the stock wheels...$1800.

i could not see how to attach more than 1 pic in a post (maybe not allowed) so here is another post with a closeup of the wheel.
