Default Looking for center caps, help!

Hi there.

I have 17 inch LS wheels on my GS, so that's the reason why I post here. I'm talking about the Lexus LS400 DHP (Dynamic Handling Pack) wheels, 17 inch. This is the deal...

My dad bought this wheels a very long time ago when you got his GS new. He didn't like the stock 'sporty' 17 inch Lexus wheels from the GS so he bought this wheels. They make the car look a lot better but it's time for them to get refurbished now. Refurbishing the wheels isn't a problem, but the center caps are the problem. They don't sell them anymore here. I've searched a lot on eBay but I couldn't find Lexus center caps with the same diameter. I saw a lot with diameter 60mm-63mm but my center cap is 54mm in diameter. You guys have any idea where I can find these center caps? Maybe the Lexus dealership in the USA still sells them? If not the only option will be refurbishing the center caps. They are all in the same condition. Will some good metal polish help the Lexus emblem shine again ? Here some info and pics of the center cap:

Part Number: PZ405-FO6701
Back also says: M514












Thanks a lot!

I've bought a few center caps off ebay. I have one center cap that looks to be the same size from the pic that I accidentally ordered that I don't need. When I get home I will shoot you a PM

yup ebay is your best friend for odd items like this, or if a member sees this and offers to sell their caps.

also try car-part.com and look for the actual wheel for sale around your area, go to that junkyard and see if you can simply purchase the caps. good luck!

The DHP was a UK-only "option" and not a "normal" Lexus option. You might try asking on the UK Lexus Owners Club forum.

I have the same wheels and the same problem. I haven't tried them yet but my search revealed that Mini Cooper center caps are 54mm. You will obviously need to paint them if they fit.
Good luck!
