Are you referring to the center caps? I have a set for sale if your interested.

They look like these:

Which center cap you need depends on what size wheels you have. If you can't find one used either Sewell (sign up with your Club Lexus name for a big discount) or Parts.com will have the best prices online.

He's got the OEM wheels. Mine will fit. I can beat Sewell prices. Sewell wants $28 a cap.

Sewell has a link to all the parts for our Lexus. With the discount it saves you time shopping and you are sure of getting the right part. And if they do make a mistake, they are super good at correcting it. Happened to me once, I ordered a set of the SC430 LED tails and one came cracked. Shot a picture, emailed to Sewell, the replacement was sent the same day! In 2 days I had the replacement. I was sent a return label too.

OEM 17" wheels use different center caps than OEM 18" wheels.

Theyre stock 08 rims. I'm 99% sure they're 18s. I pick her up tomorrow. I'll buy it then. Why would it fall out? Didn't see any issues with the rims themselves.... Gotta look again.

The rims pictured are 18", so you need to make sure the center caps are for 18" OEM rims, and that they are the right color. (Those same rims were sold on '07-'07 cars in a different color). Center caps are plastic, held in by clips. They aren't terribly strong, and they get more brittle with age. If someone removed them a couple of times it wouldn't be hard to break the clips.

The only question I have would be the color and I'll take a few pics tomorrow. I need a set and if it's true they get weaker with age, I might buy a few or 4 just to have...

Im pumped people. This car.... Ugh! LOVE!!!!
