Hyper wheels for LS430 - OEM center caps slightly too big

Apologies in advance if this has already been covered -

Bought a set of 18" Hyper Silver wheels for LS430 from Velospinner on Amazon:
Amazon

Amazon

My existing center caps do not fit (about 1/8 too large in diam

eter)

A buyer posted in the Amazon reviews for these wheels that "You need the caps with the more oval Lexus logo vs the more circular one." Since I have messaged Velo a few times about this w/no response yet I ordered these, because my centers have a more round logo: https://www.ebay.com/itm/175193122219

If anyone has tangled with this please let me know.

Thank you

"OEM Design"
sounds like these are replicas and they have slightly worse tolerances than OEM

Those are not original, definitely not for that price. That might explain the problem.

Anyone want to set a group buy for a forged wheel set that is close to the factory design?

Thanks for your replies, the caps with the oval logo arrived finally and they fit just fine.
