Default Logo fell off of wheel--any hope?

Hello friends,

I just noticed that the "L" logo fell off one of my wheels on my 2007 ES350. I suppose it's a long shot, but does anyone know where I can get a replacement, or a matching set of 4?

The chrome wheels are becoming pitted and I think I might invest in new wheels if I can't find logos for the existing wheels. So I started searching and holy cow, I've never seen so many brands and styles of wheels, and I am totally confused. My favorite color is black chrome but I've never seen a wheel that color. Anyone want to chime in on their favorite brand of wheel? I suppose I should have searched the forum first.....

Any help with the wheel logos would be appreciated.

Al Boger

I've repaired it often on my previous car. I use either hot glue from the inside and it hold very well, even silicone will work. Don't worry about it.

Thanks Blueshark,
But I wasn't very clear. It fell off somewhere, probably in the car wash, and is missing, hahaha! But thanks for answering me.

Saw a set of chrome wheel caps on EBay last week and they weren't very expensive. Also saw a few sets of PVD black chromed wheels for the 2013-2015 ES there. Check it out as the seller may have something in your size. I'd find the link for you but I'm headed out the door.

Default Thanks User 420!

Yes, these are excellent links!
I don't know why I didn't think of Flea Bay.
Thanks for the great idea. If I find something, I'll report back.

Default Thanks Lexus!

I had heard of aliexpress but had never checked it out. Wow, the prices are extremely low. I had to buy some digital meters from China that were way cheap, and some were good quality, some failed.

I also bought 2 headlight assemblies for my wife's Buick Lesabre where the lenses were fogged internally. I used Rock Auto, and one of the assemblies from China was absolutely perfect, and the other one for the passenger side was junk and I had to send it back. I wish someone would rate these companies because some are really high quality and some are junk.

Anyway, I'm enjoying looking at this website, but in the meantime, I've ordered one replacement cap USED, from Ebay for $9. Man these plastic Lexus parts are expensive!

aliexpress is best. you know how they work? seller doesn't see 1 cent of your money until you receive your item and confirm that youre satisfied.

They've got some interesting stuff in there. Some of it looks pretty poor quality, though.
