Nice choice...I think it's one of the better looking OEM style wheels.

Just so you know, those gold center caps are not OEM though.

Absolutely. I don't know how many times I've seen those center caps at the dealership and on Ebay. Replace them with the real 'L'!

I thought the '97 Coach Ed had these wheels already? The non-Coach had the multi-spoke like the '95 and '96, on the '98 this was the standard wheel.

Curious about the center caps...I've seen some flat and some with the indention...which is factory?

The 97 Coach edition had these wheels in silver. The 98-00 had the wheels standard on all models but with the aluminum look. I'm sorry for the unmet expectations. I am selling the same wheels, but not chrome. I have them in the original aluminum, Came off my 99 LS. Hopefully everything works out for you.

I'm going to have to take a close look at mine to see if it is a Toyota wheel. The service history indicates non-oem wheels being installed at 1,500 miles. The ones on the car are chrome finish with the flat center caps.
