Are these OEM center caps for 00 ES?
Can anyone confirm? Would like to know before I order. For the 00 Platinum rims. Mine are nasty and scratched up bad!

Thought I think those are not OEM, looks like an aftermarket copy, just wanted to warn you before hand.

I'll go and check mine later tonight, had to work today and the car is parked at home, a neighbor has a base 00-01 ES300 with the 15" rims and I got the 16" platinum ones so I can compare lol.

Both are.
Plat wheels have the flat ones;
All others have the second link, all chrome piece.
Both are interchangeable if I recall, Lexus only has 2 or 3 dimensions of centercaps, so they swap between wheels of all models.
There's no "wrong" answer, but personal preference I guess... just MAKE SURE it is the same dimameter on the inside, where it pops into the wheel- wouldn't want a lose centercap.

Ok, so I got a few photos, hopes this illustrates things better.
So my initial guess was wrong.
The first link posted is the correct ones for the Platinum edition. (aka Flat ones) on 16" wheels
the ones with the lines come on the base model 15" whees.
Platinum:
Base:
It's a good thing my neighbor already had a 00-01 base model I could readily compare them to.
