Just got my brand new set of 17X8,and 17X9.5 type T rims(Tirerack)with Khumo 235/45,265/40 tires,all mounted and balanced,with lug nuts,delivered for $1,000!
Now if I could just find some flat aluminum discs,or something with a Lexus,or Toyota logo to add to the ugly centers they provided me,any ideas?

Which Type T rims did you get? (manufacturer?) There should be a couple of solutions you can try. If the rims have an actual center cap, they may be the right size to be replaced with the stock Lexus "L" center caps, or if the background of the rims don't have any writing on them (name of the rim manuf etc) you can buy just the Lexus "L" and stick that on top of the existing caps. Tirerack should be able to tell you the size off the cap you need. If you can post a picture of the rims, or a link to the picture it may be more helpful to others to devise other potential solutions.

Yeah,I was just reading my first post,noticing that I'd left out the Borbet part.
The centers are 56mm across the largest part,and I'm looking to find some aluminum discs that will glue onto the plastic cap that I have now,the Lexus L would be even better if the right size is available.
Thanks.

I thought that's what you had. Anyway, from the Borbet site I couldn't really tell if the center cap is an insert or just a flat disc. I'm pretty sure that you can get either type from Lexus. If you want call Tommy Acciarello at Lexus of Manhattan - (212)977-4400 tell him Johnny Mo sent you, he should be able to get either the flat discs with the Lexus "L", the cupped "L" discs that insert into the center portion of the rim, or just the "L" stick on emblems in either Black Pearl, Chrome or Gold. I know that they have sold aftermarket rims and replaced the caps with Lexus ones, and a friend of mine has an SC4 with BBS wheels and "L" center caps.

BTW nice rims - I looked at those, I liked the TD's better (I'm not a big fan of exposed lug nuts - but they were not available in 17" - looking back at the "bigger" rim rage now, I probably should've gone 18" - oh well.

Hey thanks,I know that I've seen other car brands on some wild looking wheels,figured (hoping)there had to be a source for our cars as well.
I'd had an Acura Integra with some factory wheels that looked alot like these,car and wheels got jacked,so it'll be nice to again have a setup that looks cool.
I know what you mean about the rim sizes;I always try get whatever is on the way out of chic though,so I don't have to pay through the roof.
