Angarak Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Would anyone happen to have a spare center cap for the TTE alloys that came on the MK1 Lexus GS300 Sport? One of mine has just 'done a runner' somewhere along the M6 Im after the alloy center cap, not the plastic version. Example pic attached below.

Jake Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 They're only about £16 from Lexus. They come with 4 wheel nuts and a cap removal tool. They have the Lexus logo on them though. You might have to buy from TTE in germany to get the ones with the TTE logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Sorry for hijack, are the centre caps made of aluminium?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 Jake, I've got the Part No (LAM27517000) for the Lexus Center Caps, but like you said, they have the Lexus logo on them, and they only come in a kit (4 of them) @ £47.05 + vat (Quoted from Bentleys Toyota in Warrington). I only need one, but if I had to I'd buy a set of them as long as they were not plastic ones. Im going to email TTE tomorrow with a better pic of the alloy, however Im pretty sure SimonB on these forums ordered some center caps from TTE and got plastic versions, which didnt match the colour of his alloys. MarkRH: The alloys came with the car m8. colsoop: Im not sure if they are aluminium, but they're certainly not plastic Regards Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's right, I emailed TTE and asked for the part number. The number they gave me turned out to be for rubbish plastic ones - they were a special order though, so I couldn't take them back! Mind you, I didn't have a pic to send them. Nightmare losing one though, especially as I have a set of proper bolts in a jiffy bag ready to send to you here! Couldn't get to the post office in the week, sorry about that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markrzs Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Quality alloys fella, i'd give my left ball for a set of those ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't get to the post office in the week, sorry about that! No worries m8 - its "Sods Law" lol. Im still interested in them though...dont want to lose my other 3. Thought I'd take my supra out for a spin since its been sat in my garage since last thursday, and checked the center caps to make sure they were on ok, and they seemed it. I'm going to go and retrace my route tomorrow (M6 J23-J19)...but I doubt I'll get lucky. Cheers Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angarak Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 I think I've found a part number for the TTE center caps on the inside of one of the caps: AM27533. Will let you know when I hear back from TTE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angarak Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 Heres a reply from TTE: If you need the TTE logo please order AM27533 from us directly. Your price is 16,57 Euro + 5,87 Euro for the freight costs. Hopefully this isnt the plastic one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 can you check with them just incase they send the same as simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 can you check with them just incase they send the same as simon Yes, Im asking them to confirm that the center caps are alloy/aluminium and not plastic. I've also asked SimonB if this was the same Part No he was given. Will keep everyone updated when I hear back from them. Regards Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 if they can confirm that they are what we all want maybee theyll do a deal. might get your one for free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 The number they gave me was PZ439-10670-2K. I think that is a Toyota/Lexus number though - they said they weren't allowed to send them direct and asked me to order that number from my local Toyota, which is what I did.

Angarak Posted December 13, 2005 Author Share Posted December 13, 2005 UPDATE: TTE just got back to me to confirm that AM27533 is an aluminium center cap with the TTE logo on it. I will order one today and let you know what I recieve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angarak Posted December 19, 2005 Author Share Posted December 19, 2005 Good news everyone, I recieved my center caps this morning from TTE and they are the aluminium ones branded with the TTE logo. The Part No is AM27533. They are 16.57 Euro each and you must purchase them directly from TTE in Germany (http://www.tte.de) I purchased 4 center caps in the end (just the caps, no bolts to hold them on as SimonB sorted me out) and in total it cost me 83.77 Euros (including delivery to the UK). My contact @ TTE was: Florian Bachus ([email protected]) Tel: +49-(0)2234-1823691 Fax: +49-(0)2234-182332 Regards Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
