Oops, the chrome caps are 19.99 each, still pretty cheap.

For the regular silver ones:

Bump, would like the part # too. I used the SC300 95-96 chrome wheel cap on one of my wheels, and the cap is a little bigger than the others. Not a perfect fit. The other 3 on the car are a perfect fit, but don't know where they came from, I am guessing LS400 as well.

I don't know why people keep saying the '92 turbines don't work. They worked perfectly fine on mine I just had to bend the clips out more so it'll grab the rim and I bent part of a metal coat hanger into a circle to be the new center ring inside the center cap. Very stable never fell out and looked as if they were made for them. Easy stuff if you can't get this to work I feel bad when you have bigger projects to do. Here's a pic of my TT's with my '92 turbine center caps.

Seems like I'll have to try this...my center caps didn't fit tight enough either. How does it hold up when you remove & put the center cap back on? Is it like stock?

Can anybody post pics of the inside of their lexus wheel caps, that fit supra tt wheels? My "clips/taps" on my lexus center caps seem to be set closer in, and not grabbing the wheel enough....

u used the center caps from those wheels when i got my Supra wheels, but the caps were convex, and silver made it too noticeable

Depends on how good of a job you did modifying the clips. I had no issues at all but I'd imagine there's not much that can happen when you remove a center cap.

lol, i was typing faster than i was thinking. Not really removing them but more putting them back on. On 1 of my supra caps, that came with the wheels, its fits really tight & its kind of easy to break some of the clips if im not careful. The other ones i can just pop right on

Your caps are concave, not convex. Concave means it bows inward, convex bows outward. The proper caps for the Supra TT wheels are convex. The caps you have on your wheels are off the 95-97 SC400 7 spoke wheels, not the standard SC300 6 spoke wheels.
