Default Telios Wheels on a GS?

Anyone know if the fitment for 18" LS460 wheels is the same as the GS 18"? I went to the dealer today and saw the Telios wheel, which I fell in love with and think would look GREAT on a Smoky Granite Mica... anyone know if this will work? Dealer parts department claims "no," but we all know how often they are correct about these types of things....

I believe the LS460 has a different bolt pattern....LS430 used to be the same as the GS, but they changed it with the 460.

I have seen those wheels, I think they are not bad. But the Current LS does have a different bolt battern compare with the GS.

So disappointed....does anyone know who makes those wheels or are they custom for Lexus only (i.e., the BBS wheels for the IS-F).

Not sure who makes that wheel for Lexus. As stated, the LS 460 is the only Lexus with a different bold patter that 114.5

Sure...they will drill out another set of 5 holes with the right pattern beside the original holes...you'll end up the the Swiss Cheese effect
I am not sure though if they have a bolt adapter--those things can be pricey--not worth it.

lmao! swiss cheese, lol! good one!

to OP: like everyone has said, different bolt pattern, no can do. your best bet would be to fine an aftermarket wheel that is similar in style to this wheel you want. good luck!

Are those the Telios wheels, because the pics look Chrome and the Telios have a black/chrome type look to them (which matches my custom Lexus badges). I do like those but the finish seems different... thoughts?

You guys are good... seriously. Could not tell they were chopped.... lol. Of course, I'm nearly blind without my glasses (which are usually NOT on my face). ;-)

Anyone recommend a rim that has a similar finish? I.e., black chrom-esque?
