Default 2Gen and 3 Gen Center Caps Interchangeable?

Hey, just a quick question if you all could help out.

Own an 04 GS300.

Just found 2008 GS350 wheels, 18x8s. (5 spoke )

Will my center caps from the 04 work on the new wheels?

Thanks,
Eworth

Yes it will fit. Will it be perfect fitment? not sure. Might not be flush... But it can lock in it's place and secure itself.... might look funky too!~

Hey, thanks. I'll wait till the wheels get here and try them out instead of ordering center caps right away.

I got the Lexus take off wheels (like new and still in the box) with shipping for $580.00 whooohooooo!!!


Hollander# 74184 I believe.

Now... finding the right tires for a good ride. 245/40/18 but what brand?

Theo,

Did just that and found the tires I'm getting. As soon as I pay the man for the rims, my next order will be tires from Tirerack.com

Thanks again. You've been a great help!!
