Default What wheels ?

I recently bought a nice 95 LS400. It has these wheels. Are they Lexus or are they after market?

Kind of looks like the OEM wheel, but that center cap isn't right. The Logo is wrong.

That wheel style was on the 97 Coach and 98. Yup, center cap is not right.

I just bought a used set of '99 chrome GS wheels that have that same center cap logo.

the aftermarket L is sharp pointed, factory L has a curve or swoop?

I'm pretty sure these are replica OEM wheels. I've seen quite a few on this forum in many sections with that same logo. Perhaps various people have gotten them from the supplier over the years?
