Default 18" Teleios Alloy Wheels Help

I had emailed my salesman to see when the new Chrome Wheels were going to be available for the LS460 and he sent me a bulletin from Lexus about the LS460 18" Teleios Wheel. $320.00 each.

Does anyone have an opinion?

Are these Chrome looking?

Thanks - The photo looks nice to me.

I am sure the price is without labor.

Also, since you seem to know, what is the best tire that I can get from he dealer?

Thanks

That is a GREAT price for those wheels .. most other dealers are charging $1700 for the set. I paid $500/wheel (installed, tax, etc). Guess I didn't make a GOOD deal. One dealer here in ATL, wanted $2995 for the wheels installed ...

I was told that the wheel is on back order until February. I think the Teleios wheels look nice but I am still not sold on the wheels as the standard wheel
looks nice too, that silver look is not bad.
I had exchanged the wheels on my LS430 that I traded for the LS460 for chrome wheels and after I did it I was almost sorry that I did because the standard wheel with that silver look looked just as good as the chrome. I guess a am beginning to see chrome as an over kill and so many cars have chrome wheels that I may be a little tire of seeing chome wheels.
It would be nice to know a little bit more about the Teleios wheels as to how well they will hold up in all types of weather.

I emailed my salesperson and he sent over a bulletin released by Lexus stating the Wheel would be available in limited quanity at $320.00. Now that i look at it, it says Dealer's Cost. It is bulletin # ACCY 2006 - XX
