Alternative hubcaps
Hi, I know this has been covered before, but most threads seem to be discussing big wheel covers. I've unmounted the covers yesterday (for tyre balance) and find them looking decent.
What do you guys think about installed those 62mm hubcaps for normal cars? This will of course leave an unsightly cave around the hub.
I'm thinking about something like these http://www.ebay.com/itm/SET-OF-4PCS-LEXUS-SILIVER-CENTER-WHEEL-HUB-CAPS-COVER-EMBLEM-62MM-42603-30590-/172284311719?hash=item281cf1f8a7
I stripped a bolt yesterday and will probably install five for the moment (ten is overkill anyway).

...not sure which wheel you're talking about? Show us a picture & we might be able to help you with ideas/suggestions....now what I did when I added aftermarket wheels, I took the "L" off the original center cap. I painted the center cap (of the aftermarket wheel) flat black, then glued the "L" on it. It has a factory appearance & alot of people have thought they were factory Lexus wheels............here's a pic to give you an idea of what I did, sorry it's not a little closer

I'm talking about the stock rims, of course https://www.clublexus.com/forums/att...y-dscf8094.jpg
I've already ordered two new tyres for the front and the two at the rear were installed this June. If I keep the car, next time I'll probably buy a set of lightweight rims. I'm not familiar with this, but does the same nut pattern fit all Toyota / Lexus cars (including new)?
Your rims look quite nice. Forged is better than the stock cast; it looks much lighter, and probably are.
