welcome to CL. those wheels aren't at all OEM lexus, and were likely a dealership option. best bet is to check the back of the rim for stamped info about the manufacturer/model (bbs is likely) and contacting known bbs retailers/refinishers. good luck.

the center cap isnt original to the rim. its a "this will fit"

if you notice the huge ring around the center cap, and the in your face threaded hole, that suppose to have a bolt into it?
chances are, its a bbs rim, and the original center cap was lost.

what do the other rims look like?

do all 4 look like this? or is 1 or 2 different?
