Someone was wanting to see pic of Teleios wheels on Spinal red '08 LS460?
Just had them put on.

nice car. I think a car as baller as the LS should always be in black or at least dark blue. The red is very unique though. I had a G35 sedan in almost the exact same color

I can tell you that the red on the G35 sedan is VERY different from this red on the LS460 when seen in person, especially if parked side by side.

Love the Nobel Spinel Mica LS!

I hear you. I had an '06 GS430 that had a brighter metallic red, I suspect it's the same color as still on the GS's, and it is indeed a beautiful color.

Wifey loved the GS430 color but I didn't care for the rougher ride, smaller trunk and seemed harder to get in and out of. I got the '08 LS460 in the Nobel Spinel Mica in an effort to placate her...was sorta successful. ;->

The black and grey LS's do look a bit more 'distinguished', but I've had enough 'distinguished' in my life.

I'm 69 and while still in reasonably good health I know the actuarial tables are catching up with me and figured this may well be the last new car I'll ever have. I decided to get, what I considered to be, the best new car out there and while very tasteful, still pimp it up a bit with the color, tint and chrome Teleios wheels.

Now if I could just find a grill without the billboard "L" I'd be happier. I might even remove the billboard "L" on the trunk, too. I like quality rides but not to the point of being ostentatious or pretentious about it. A tasteful degree of 'stealth' is nice.

I've always kind of liked the 'sleeper' rides.
My first car, in '57', was a '50 Chevy hardtop, repainted with a robin's egg blue on top and metallic dark blue on the bottom. The first thing I did was to pull the Stovebolt 6 and stuff a '54 Olds V8, stick shift into it. A year later put a Latham supercharger in it. This one had the four Weber side-draft carbs. Yeah...luv'd dem sleepers.

Nothing like pulling up at a light next to some known hot rod, and having the subtle whine of a blower under your hood. The dual Douglas glass packs revealed it didn't have an enemic six in it anymore. Those were the days, the best days in the world, mid-50's, single, didn't have to account for your $$ and damn few responsibilities...then I got married.
