Default Correct Center Caps for 2000 LS400?

So,

Just picked up a 2000 LS400. The previous owner stated that he replaced the wheels with new ones because the previous ones were the wrong set (replaced with aftermarket).

The center caps seem to rattle on these wheels. They also seem to be a of different finish. The ones currently on the wheels have a "polished/chrome-like" finish and are numbered 8629 on the back side.

Do I have the right set for my wheels?

See attached picture.

Thansk!

They should be brushed aluminum. Those look like the wrong ones. There should be an indent in the middle of the cap.

yeah don't think those are OEM, the shape should be more concave than that

And If so (admittedly, maybe a dumb question).... but how do I really know if I have brushed or silver?

Be cautious,find out the suppliers return policy before you buy as some after market center caps do not fit OEM rims properly.
