Default ES 300 Coach Edition Center Caps

Looking for 1999 ES 300 Coach Edition center caps. They are out of circulation and the dealerships hardly know about it until they look it up. I'm missing one and have searched everywhere on line. These caps are 2" or just a little more in diameter. All the rest are 2 1/2" on the regular ES model. Need help. Should fit 1999-2001 models on 15" wheels.

Not the one. The one you show is just like the one's everyone else has. They are all about the same on all Lexus's except for the Coach Edition. At a glance, they look right, but they aren't. I was hoping you had the answer. Thanks for trying.

Well, then these wheels are truly an anomaly... The part number for almost all center caps is this; 4260333080

Which in that list [as per Sewell] included the coach edition wheels. Keep scouring ebay in that case, since most sellers don't sell the wheel with the cap, so message a bunch of them about it!

And... only the 99 had the 15" coach wheel, from 00-01 they had 16" as standard.

For you are right because i have a 2001 coach edition and they are 16 with the same center caps as the ebay ones but the center L is gold on mine

You really shouldn't be rude and question a OG like 01LEXPL. Just saying.

I'll take one's with the gold. I can fix that if needed. Heck the gold would even match the color of the car just fine. Any ideas on an optional cap that may be on another model of Lexus? How about caps from the early to mid nineties. Lexus part guys seem dumbfounded by the whole thing. I googled "Lexus ES300" and one of the sites showed my car and it had one of the caps missing. I lost the cap at Discount tire when purchasing new tires. They've been scrambling around looking for it. I went to the back of the building and rummaged through all the caps they had. They can make a fortune on ebay with what they have.

I'd even pay for a complete wheel if it has the cap. Heck, I need to get two just in case. This whole things makes me nuts.

Other than my suggestion above in asking eBay sellers to separate the caps, there's not much you can do. All Lexus' had the 2.5" standard. And some models had "weird" ones like the full face deter on early ls400's, or the 5spoke centres on is300's. All the round ones are 2.5", I've been looking for bigger ones when I first got my enkei's and couldn't find a cap that was 3" so I've looked at various sizes.
