They are stickers, what do you expect? Unless you stare at them you can't tell there is anything "off" with them. I just wanted them to look as oem as possible and this was the easiest way to do it without notching and cutting oem caps. They are a little more silver because the rim is actually hypersilver in color.

I'm not knocking the fact that they're stickers, but the proportions of the logo you currently have really are "off." This is how it should look:


Compared to what you have:


The logo on your wheels looks too thin and the height/width proportions are incorrect. I'm not here to bust your *****, just letting you know. If you wanted to redo the sticker, I'm sure motogfx could do one for you: http://www.motogfx.com/lexus/ They make great caliper decals and could do a nice custom decal for your wheel as well. But like I said, doesn't look bad as is.

Good to know, thanks. I only paid 2 bucks for the ones I have now, so i can't be that picky.

I like the flat caps, those are the winged huyndai emblems right? my buddy who has the G-Coupe replaced his stock H emblems with those.

All in all, brociouz already said it so ill refrain myself. I like the look you got going on. VERY oem like.

you can get a metal shop to machine some centre caps for you.

I suppose, but that would cost at least 50 bucks for one cap
