I can't seem to find a replacement center cap for the Vogue chrome wheels on my '97 LS. Any suggestions?

Not sure which one it is, but did you look on Ebay?

Looked for 'bout two hours yesterday and nothing! Wheels were manufactured around 1995 so probably not going to find one. I'm Leaning toward putting a set of 2004 LS 430 chrome 17" wheels. my local junk yard has. Also noticed a set of SC400 wheels yesterday in forum classifieds. Will either of these fit?

isn't vogue a tire brand, or a madonna song? in all seriousness, OEM caps, if that's the wheels you have, can be found on ebay. aftermarket is much more difficult due to availability.

yes LS wheels should fit your car but NOT the SC400.

-OEM Toyota/Lexus wheels that clear 95-00 big brakes (5x114.3, 60.1mm hub)
95-00 LS400
01-06 LS430
06-11 ISX50
06-11 GS350/430/460
93-97 Supra Turbo (only)

NO OTHER OEM Lexus wheels will clear.
LS460 wheels do not fit They are 5x120 and will need an adapter.

Thanx for the info Timmy0tool. The yard that I deal with at my car lot, some months spending a couple thousand dollars, really really cut me a deal on 2004 LS430 chromes in near perfect condition. $300.00!!! Now I can go ahead and put the new tires on those wheels knowing they will fit thanks to your post. BTW my tire guy said that 225-55-17s will give the new combination the same height as the original wheels and tires.does that sound right?

correct! 225/55/17 is the right size.
