Try eBay. They usually have a few sets on there. If there are not any now, just keep checking.

dld, I bought the chrome type and had them put the center emblem (SC) in liew of the Lexus symbol. They wouldn't do the Lexus symbol because of trademark rights. Anyway, you can check it out here:

Default Star shaped replacements

I believe you are referring to the center covers that turn the wheel to a spoke type wheel. I bought a set and used them about 3 months. They match perfectly. I decided go with 17 inch wheels so have a set in perfect condition laying around if you are interested.

DivX007, I'm looking for the 5 star shaped ones', not the round circular ones you have on your Links you posted up above........

I too am looking for that 5-star center plate, which has 10 hex screws holding them on the center of each wheel.

anyone?

These were the cheapest I could find. These are chrome. There was quite a few machined finished on ebay a little while back. I needed chrome so I had Phil put the SC center piece in and they looked really good. I think this is what you're looking for guys:

how do you guys get the bolts off the cover? my tire dealer tried to loosen a few of them and gave up not to ruin them. its a 2002 SC430 and it seems there is corrosion around the screws. damned. we were really dissappointed...

some screws we got off showed white corrosion on the windings which is contact corrosion between aluminium alloy wheels and stainless V2A screws.

lexus suggested to spray WD40 and wait and then buy the best bit money can buy and use an allen wrench. if that doesnt help take a hammer and beat a torx bit with a hammer inside the screw and replace this screw.

wish me good luck.

I dont know first hand, but I got that sight from a previous post a long time ago, and the guy that got it said it worked just great. And its about what you'd pay if you were to find them on ebay...
