DuDro Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Greetings All and Happy New Year! I have installed aftermarket / custom wheels on my 2003 GS430. I would like to restore a "factory / OEM" look to the wheels by changing the center caps. Where can I find custom made center caps that will fit my aftermarket wheels? I will be applying the little "L" logos to these. Please let me know. Thanks for your time and help in advance! Regards, DuDro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 depends on what wheels you have ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuDro Posted January 7, 2005 Author Share Posted January 7, 2005 I have 18" Exel E-2 Wheels. The center caps on these are approximately 2.5 inches in diamter. They are smaller than the OEM center caps that came on my 17" seven spoke wheels. Please advise. Thanks! http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/exel/e2.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuDro Posted January 8, 2005 Author Share Posted January 8, 2005 Where did you get the little "L" emblems? I figure that I will have to craft these on my own. I did find some wheel emblems on ebay. Check it out... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...TRK%3AMEWA%3AIT These could be last resort after I make an attempt to make my own. Please advise. Thanks!

SKperformance Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 basically that is what i have i got blank vinyl to make the background and cut to fit then had a shop make the chrome ones in the Lexus script to overlay they work and look nice i used flat black to offset the chrome better, am very happy with the flat black over gloss backing cost was about $20 so their $12 is not bad although it is not very expensive to get cut vinyl any sign maker can make then for you locally that cap in the picture is 2.5 inches? it look alot smaller more like a 1.5 the smallest emblems are probably the ES 300 92-96 ones in their center cap i would have tried them but mine are gold and i didn;t want that anymore, actually i have some chrome ones now that i rememebr mabe i will make a new project later on.
