how do they stay in? just wedge them in and they stay in tacT?

Lol, I'm glad that you like all my mod. . Yes, just push it in and they will stay intact. It take a a liltle force to get it in but that's good, that'll make the cap stay on the rims.

Talking Nice Rims !!!

Your car is really nice I just picked up my SMG IS 350 W/sport package from Lexus of Honolulu Friday and am looking into buying some rims. I know a little bit about rims my question to you is are those rims that you have on the car hubcentric or lugcentric.

I would prefer hubcentric wheels , without the hubcentric rings that normally go on lugcentric wheels also does theback tire rub at all with the 20 X 10 on the outside of the wheel well.

Right now I am considering three wheels my first choice would be the Lexion 203 than the TSW Nagoro and lastly the wheels that you have. Here is a picture of the TSW Nagoro

Thanks In Advance Smooth1

Thanks Smooth,
My wheels didn't come with the rings so I think they're hubcentric. I'm not exactly sure thou. My back tires don't rub at all. But not sure if they'll rub or not once lowered.

how far down did you cut those 4 clips? and the 2 spots i marked with the arrows, those will fit into the small groove around the zenetti cap? or did you take the zenetti cap out before putting the lexus cap on?
how come you had to take the wheel off?

thanks

You have to cut those 4 clips to the base. You have to take the wheels off because it's no way to take the zenetti center cap off the wheels. You have to push them out from the inside. I scratch 2 of them trying the short way not to take the wheels off.
