Hello, first and foremost, I am a new owner to a 2001 Lexus GS430 with 63,000 miles. My other cars are two 2018 Toyota Camry XSE V6 cars. I have always wanted this model of Lexus because of its style, power and reliability. It drives very smoothly and actually, pretty similar to the Camry albeit, it is quieter. There are some modern amenities I miss in this car but the overall solidity I feel and plus, the good interior quality make up for any infotainment it does not have.
The one conundrum I face with this vehicle is that one center cap is missing from my wheel. From preliminary online searches, it appears these wheels are pretty rare and hard to find. The center cap for the wheel is: Manufacturer O∙Z
Does anyone know of any places that can re-manufacture center caps? Alternatively, if someone has any stock GS 430 rims for sale, I would be willing to buy those too. Thank You
Those center caps are probably a custom set, most likely a past owner or clever parts guy at a Lexus dealership has put them together. I really doubt O.Z. Offers to put the manufacturers logo of your choice on a set of wheels when u purchase them.
I have pulled the emblems off my factory wheels and mounted them on the aftermarket caps a few times.
Your best bet would be to put the 2 you have on 1 side of the vehicle and order a set of replacement caps from OZ and mount them on the other side.
If the caps aren’t available anywhere and the wheels look ghetto without the caps, then the sky is the limit. Budget wise, your beat bet would be to keep an eye on OfferUp, Craigslist, and the local Pick-And-Pull for a full set of Lexus wheels u like. Or if your willing to pay a premium for a set of top condition original GS400 wheels, then eBay and car-part.com will have plenty of listings.
Now that the value of these cars is bottoming out, and condition is dictating price, you can buy one that’s worn but still full of good parts. Swap your wheels and get anything else that your car needs, or you think could be resold quickly to recoup the cost of the car, then take what’s left to a wrecking yard to get a little more cash back. Just be sure the parts you specifically want are present and serviceable.
