Center Caps Sizing

[BillNick]

Hi all. I am having a bit of a mare with center caps for my new wheels. I bought some used 11spokes for the IS200 and none of them came with center caps.

Lexus want £24 per cap for the OEM ones that came on the 11 spokes. The part number is 42603-53090.

I bought some universal 60mm caps from eBay which were slightly too small and did not clip in properly = no good.

So I am guessing the OEM caps are 62mm ish?

Does anyone know if these will fit? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110998537824?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619

Or is anyone able to give me precise 3 dimensional measurements of the OEM 11 spoke caps please?

Thanks

Bill

Yes, those IS-F caps will fit in the 11-spoke wheels. I tried one this afternoon.

It didn't sit quite as flush as an OEM cap, but it snapped into place fine and looked pretty good.

FYI, the centre caps for IS220d/IS250 wheels and also the Mk1 RX300 are the same size (62mm) and fitment.

Great thanks....any chance of a picture please?

I dont want to spend £60 and not be satisfied as they are from Japan I cannot send them back

[J Henderson]

Sure, I'll try and take one this evening.

[BillNick]

That would be a great help, thanks so much!

You can email to me@billnick.com if that is easier

They don't look too bad and they do appear to be a bit more robust than the originals.... I'm just about to have my wheels stripped and powder coated but the centres are pretty grotty looking so I'm in the same boat as Billnick

[BillNick]

I wonder if a bead of black silicone would 'seal the deal' on these??? hmmm

THey look great. I had the same problem. I have the same alloys (11 spoke) but mine are gunmental grey but came without the centre caps. Luckily i saw an OEM set on eBay for £50. But these IS-F ones look amazing!

[BillNick]

Cool. I think I will go for the ISF ones then.

1) They will suit my grey wheels better

2) They are £40 cheaper than OEM 11 spoke center caps

[The Transporter]

Just fitted the ISF centres to my newly powder coated 11 spokes and I am very pleased.... They do protrude about 3mm further out and you can see a little band of grey but they are all plastic and so shouldn't corrode like the metal originals.

[BillNick]

Cool.

Any chance of some pics please? Of the car from the side and of a wheel close up?

[The Transporter]

Bill, as soon as I fit them to the car then I'll post up some photos but they are still sitting in the back of the jeep..... I'm still polishing my nuts!

[BillNick]

Haha nice one thanks

[The Transporter]

Here you go bill... I don't think that bthey look too bad. The wheels were clean this morning....Honest!

They look fine don't they :-)

Thanks for doing that. Now all I gotta do is wait for them to arrive from Japan :-)
