Who all though the top speed limiter was set to 142 MPH?

This isn't very helpful from a search perspective, but it does indicate the '08s will have different wheel colors. If someone has the ability to translate the numbers into an actual color, it would be a big help.

Hey Lobux... If you have time...

If Can you look up the color code finishes for these Lexus Wheels???

Standard 18" 5 Star GS Wheel
Standard 18" 5 Star IS X-pkg Wheel
Optional 18" G-Spider & ISP Wheels
Optional 17" 5 Star IS300 Wheel

If any of them match the code listed for the 2008 IS Liquid Graphite Wheel Finishes, then we will have an exact idea of what they will offically look like

Thanks - Joe Z

BTW - Do you think a title edit is on order, since your first post covers a lot more that just the Speed Limiter..??

I tried to find out more about the colors, but I couldn't find anything. I've never seen color codes for wheels before this NCF entry.

Back OT. I wonder if the speed limiter is set to actual speed or as indicated ? If our speedos are truly 5% conservative, than an indicated speed of 144 would be an actual speed of apprx 137. Then again, to achieve an actual speed of 144, you would need apprx 151 as indicated. Anyone care to test this . . .

I have heard this to be true many years back by a bulletin posted by the NTHSA.
