Default well...

it doesn't look like we are going to have a price until they are actually available at the dealers in Jan or Feb...

..oh well, they say good things come to those who wait right?


BTW: Anyone know about this center cap? Check this out!

Looks photoshopped to me but i'm no expert.. Maybe Manaray is rubbing off on me but it looks too bling bling with that cap.. Just my 2 cents..

Default hmmmm

I saw that photo on a current ebay ad:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=1858024680


I emailed the guy asking him if he sells them and he said no he doesn't and doesn't know where to get them either...


hmmmmmmm

Default update:

I've got emails out to some aftermarket wheel and hubcap places but so far I got 2 never heard of them replies.....

...the guy with the auction said he saw them on a car himself in Miami and will see if he can find out any info himself..

Does ANYONE know of these and/or seen them in person?

Default Pie Plates

I honestly like the original Pie Plates better.

I think anything looks better than the pie plates. The 5 spoke looks pretty good.

Sign me up for the new center caps! When I saw the pictures of the SC430 prototype a couple of years ago I couldn't believe they were going to keep those wheels for the production cars!

Default yes...

I think it is obvious that many of us want a newer style center cap... either from Lexus wheel upgrade or aftermarket (if it exists)... but from where, and how much is still the question!!!


Anyone have insight on the aftermarket one I posted a photo of?

Hey everyone!!

Actually if you call the Lexus toll free phone number they will send you a brochure. I'm not sure exactly what they have right now but they will send you what ever they have. also if you live by one of the area offices they might have the 2003 brochures

Thank you!
Joe
