Chrome centercaps with gold "SC" lettering
My '92 SC400 has had chrome centercaps with "SC" written in gold since I bought the car. One centercap was broken by a local tire shop and I am having difficulty finding a replacement. Does anyone know if they were a factory option from Lexus? Or, does anyone know who makes them so I can purchase a replacement? All input is appreciated.

There is a thread here somewhere that shows these rims. From what I remember, they are a factory stock center cap with "SC" written in it. Let me search around and see what I can find.
*EDIT*
Got it!!!

What did the dealer's parts guy say?
I have the same caps, and a few of them have one or two broken tabs but they still stay on the wheel.
As a last resort, you may be able to take the gold "SC" part and affix it to another chrome cap.

I called the OEM for Lexus wheels (Wheel Creations Inc. in Fresno CA) and have been told that these centercaps are definately aftermarket. He also said that the company that made them is out of business. Unless someone else makes them or I can find them used I'll have to change out all my centercaps or suffer a mismatched set.

Or upgrade to the SC430 wheels. I have seen a few of those looking swell on a 1st gen SC....
You can do it
(or just step it up all the way with some nice new shoes for your sweetie)
