Default Place to chrome centercaps-plastic???

Does anyone know of a place that can chrome the plastic centercaps?

I have 4 (7") that I want to rechrome.

Before I use these guys, I want to check with the locals here.
Thanks in advance

I called M&M before and they don't actually have an office you can go to. You have to ship it to wherever they are, which is local. I'm pretty sure they can get it done for you though.

Thanks for the input from the both of you

I called that MM place, checked their address and it was a UPS store on Beach Blvd.
Not too keen on sending my stuff without seeing a face. He doesn't have a store front/shop...so I'll pass.

Just did a quick search and found someone selling them on ebay. It would probably be cheaper to buy them than to have them chromed. If you really want to chrome the set you have, maybe you can ask them to refer you. Anyways, heres the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/LEXUS...spagenameZWDVW

Awesome sc300max. Thank you for the link
I wonder/hope that they're interchangeable. The caps I have are the 7 spoke SC wheels. I'll ask the seller

No prob man. A while ago I was looking for Lexus caps for my Supra na wheels with no luck, but ran into alot of these sellers with the chrome caps. If you oem ones are 7" and the ones for sale are 7" they should fit. All you have to do is switch over your "L".

Thanks again.

So these 7" lexus fits your supra?

I was also looking for supra ones to fit these
I just tried on the round ones from the 5 split spoke camrys and they didn't fit.

Actually, I'm going the other way and will be putting the toyota emblem instead of the lexus

By the way, do you have your toyota emblems that you switched out?

I wish I had a Supra, but I have an SC with na wheels. The 7" are too big for my wheels because the centercaps about about 6.5", but let me measure it again just to make sure. The toyota emblem is imprinted on the Supra wheels so I can't simply swap emblems. I'll update with measurements when I get home.

Edit: The supra na wheels have a 6.5" centercap.
