what are tirecaps? you mean the center caps on the wheels?

anyway, if its a stock part wouldn't the dealer be the natural choice.

Cool

It says they come in sets of four...so its four caps for $29.95.

I saw them in a display case at the Lexus dealer and wondered what they were. Don't remember the price there but will check them out next time I go.

You think that's bad... Costco puts on green caps to designate that the tires are filled with nitrogen. I take my old '99 Mitsu Galant V6 ES to get new tires. Week later, someone stole all 4 of my green caps. It wasn't even St. Patty's Day.

Cheers,
