Well I searched and searched with no luck.... So I had to go to my local Lexus dealership and get raped for almost 30 bux a pop lol

so 118 bux later I have perfect matching center caps for my Lexus Knockoffs.

Damn center caps almost cost as much as 1 wheel

What about the TPMS system? How does it work with the HyperBlack wheels?

Damn I hate to dig up a very old thread but here goes.

I am about to order a set of these replicas.

What did you all do regarding TPMS sensors?

I would like to have 2 full sets of wheels, tires & TPMSs so I can change out between summer and snows and not have to worry about any lights in the dash.

Is it possible to have 2 sets of wheels with 2 different sets of TPMSs?

Do you need to purchase OEM Lexus sensors?

Any feedback would be great.

Thank you!

there are no sensors in our wheels.our system operates buy computer different wheel rotations and sends a signal for the light to come on.

Can you elaborate more please?

Do these wheels not accept a TMPS?

If I run these wheels as they are, will the Tire Pressure light stay on in the car?

Thanks

Tire pressure is monitored by the ABS system tracking the amount of rotation by each wheel. A predecessor to current TPS.

Do these aftermarket replica wheels have 'Toyota' stampings on them ?

I have a set of OEM looking 18's and the center caps have different styled 'L' logo on the center cap. Maybe just cap replacements ?

It's weird how in the GCC region, the OEM wheels came like this from Japan.

Received my wheels this week, they look great. Very happy so far.
I have not purchased the Lexus center caps.... holding off for now.
Will purchase later on or if I find a deal.
if anyone has a set, PM details.

FYI- I purchased a brand new set of tires for the new wheels... went with the Pirelli Cinturato P7 All Season Plus, V rated tires. These have been great so far also.

I saw that and haven't had any luck finding that part for the center caps. It could be they're discontinued as that post is almost 5 years old.

I did find this site: http://www.hubcaps.org/lexus.html?gc...FUMV7AodBEcATA and I think the one we need is #LEXC4D.
