TSW Wheels + Lexus Center Caps
TSW Wheels + Lexus Center Caps
So I have these wheels in 20s and was wondering if you guys happen to know the size of the cap or if any other Lexus caps will fit?

I was thinking about doing a sticker as well, but I wasn't sure which one I should buy or know of any that are good quality. I checked on eBay and found a couple, but don't know the quality.
If anyone has experience in changing the caps or making their own, please let me know. Thanks!

I like how he did his center cap with carbon fiber sticker and L logo.

The last time I looked, Sewell's had SC letters for sale for like $2.75 ea. They are chrome & plastic and have 3M tape on the back. You could paint or cover the cap and stick on the SC. I have painted SC on my chrome twisties.
@cyberlexus I like those too, I'm also debating on which color I should use, black or try to find one similar. I think the current one is machine finished.
@SteadyEddy Do you have pictures of yours?

I got some stick-on ones from ebay, and while they looked decent, they didn't stick very well. I prepped the surface properly too. Wouldn't recommend them unless you buy a few sets and replace them after every car wash lol.
They look pretty good! How would one go about prepping before sticking them on?
What I did was remove the original emblem from the center-cap, use some 3000 grit sandpaper to rough up the paint a little bit, then cleaned it with some alcohol. The black sticky stuff on the back of the new caps still wouldn't take that well to it.
Maybe you'll have better luck, can't complain too much for the price though, I think they were $12

I honestly would just love to buy black center caps, but they are quite expensive!
