I'm jealous, I can't get the old ones off. I bought some chrome star centers and can't even use them. I guess I will sell them. Anyone 75 and I pay shipping? Never taken out of box and still like new. For a pic, look on first page of this forum thread at the white 430.

I searched e-Bay and found a seller that actually is a Lexus Dealer in St Louis. His e-Bay name is lexusstlouis. He agreed to sell me brand new alloy center caps that are the same as Tfischer's SC shown for $200. He has put these up e-Bay for auction from time to time and the last set went for $176. I don't have time to mess with all that and just PM'ed him.

Looks good tfeni#####. I did the same right after I purchased my SC last year. Only difference is mine is chrome. 100% improvement. If I remember correctly I paid around $100 and had "SC" put on the center cap in lieu of the "L". Good job!!

Thanks
Thank you for all of the responses. All of the posted photos has convienced me that the 5-spoke covers are exactly what I want (and a total improvement over the the pie covers). The alloy colored 5-spokes seems to a hard find. The chrome and black center covers (after-market) are readily available on Ebay. Capital Wheels seemed to be out of stock too. Does anyone know of any other sources for the alloy color covers?

GC.... Ebay is a pretty good source for after-market. They're probably the cheapest ($) around too. I have seen some in the clublexus classified, but don't remember whether they were used or new. I agree with many on this sight that the 5 star is an upgrade to the pie plates.

His e-Bay name is lexusstlouis. Search for his e-Bay name (on e-Bay) and send him and e-mail. He will allow you to pay with PayPal. I got my center caps in two days after the transaction.
