Wow what a difference that makes. They look so much better. I'm never on the SC430 forum but somebody mentioned this thread on another thread on the GS forum where someone was asking about for opinions on putting SC430 wheels on a GS.

By the way, I found these closeup pics in other threads. I searched for "wheel conversion" in the SC430 forum.

From this pic, it looks like somebody has them in chrome already.



Here's the thread where this came from. I think that's from page 2.

Question Looks like after market Chrome Center Caps

Look at the detail in the scaned pic. and the photo
of the white car. I think I will wait to see the Lexus
product in person. I'm sure some dealer or wheel
guy will chrome the new center caps and replace
the "pie plates". Are they plastic?

Agreed. They look like the chrome-covered plastic wheels that come with 1:24 scale model cars.
