Where's everyone getting Lexus center caps?
 
I see some on ebay which ill probably have to mod cuz my aftermarket caps are less then 2.5". I also saw the stickers you can just stick on your aftermarket caps. Anyone have any luck with those?

I am curious because I have been looking into rims but I have to have my Lexus "L". So, I am subscribing...

dont see them on Sewell's site. Best bet is ebay anyway. Did you put OEM ones in your aftermarket wheels without cusomizing them?

These are the stickers I was talking about, anyone try these? You just pop the decal off your existing aftermarket wheel cap and put these on. This way you dont have to customize the cap. Does this look cheap or what guys?

^not bad, its a good enough alternative imo.

The L emblem doesn't look right. It's too skinny. Also doesn't match the color of the wheel

Ya, that logo looks bogus, chinese knockoff. Missing the gaps where the L meets the outer ring.

Sewell does have them: http://is.sewellparts.com/accessorie...2007/2141.html

But they're like $15.58 a piece.

They come in silver, chrome, and liquid graphite (gunmetal).

The black F-sport rim color one is $19.46.

Its $15.58 with club lexus discount. But will they fit aftermarket rims? And how you gonna match the color?

shiny250 01-23-12 08:49 PM

color can be matched by pretty much any good powdercoating shop. as for size, just measure the opening of the aftermarket rim and make sure the oem cap is the same.

screw that, you can get the same OEM ones off ebay for cheaper for a set. You wont match them 100% unless you get them painted which im not. I believe OEM diameter is 2.5". My aftermarket caps are just over 2 1/4. So I guess you have to sand or dremel the outside of the OEM cap to fit. Ill have to figure what ima go here

I get what you're saying but it comes down to matter of opinion. I look at the logo on the stickers are more of a futuristic lexus logo look. Plus the gaps arent on all caps, these are OEM, no gaps

There are indents in the place of the gaps.
