Depends on how good you want to do them, and how bad they are now. If lots of curb rash then they may need welding etc.

This should help you. Painting the center caps will be the trickiest part, because of the chrome or gold emblems. You can mask off the Lexus emblem or remove them, but it's held on with a strong adhesive and removal could break the logos with their age.
