Those are Land Cruiser caps on Tundra wheels. Just like the below. They fit, but don't center without a little extra care. Make sure to get them all the way in after taking it to a shop as I doubt the shop monkey will pick up on this requirement. Once you put them on it is very easy to understand what I'm talking about and how to center them.

Oregon,
Your rig is one of the reasons I decided to pick up the Tundra wheels. I don't think the hubcaps in the picture I posted are the ones from our 16" wheels though. They look like the Sahara edition hubcaps. Anyone else shed some light on this - I'm trying to get these wheels mounted soon.

I'm not familiar with the Sahara edition caps and my eyes aren't good enough to pick up any differences between the two pictures. I do know that the Tundy caps will fit on the rear of the LC, it's just on the front that they won't (the LC hub sticks out too far). So I'd be surprised if any Tundra cap would work, but maybe you're on to something.
Those are the OEM 17" alloy wheel caps. 42603‑60570
This particular pic is a reproduction but it basically looks like this. Whether it fits your Tundra wheels are not... I think you'll be the first to find out. The finish will likely be slightly different than the Tundra wheels.

hoser said:The wheels in post #1 are LC wheels. There are two versions with slightly different paint schemes. Never came on any Tundra. You may want to order just one cap first.
Wow, your eyes are better than mine because the wheels in post 1 and 2 look identical to me. I'm going to measure the hubcaps and see what I come up with.
Thanks!
Well, I have a set of those 18" tundra wheels and I've seen the 17" LC wheels in person. The center of the spoke portion is more curved/smooth. These are reproductions but can see what I'm talking about.
I have the 2010 Tundra wheels, with '06-'07 LC hubcaps. I had to trim a bit of plastic off of the caps to make them fit, but fit they did. I don't have any pics right now, but I could get one later to show you what they look like with the wheels and where I had to trim.

I will do my best. I will be using my iPOD, so the pics may not be National Geographic worthy, but I will try and get some decent shots.
Ok, so here are a few photos of my Tundra wheels, with the LC caps. Please don't mind the street tires, as they came free of charge, with the wheels.
The first photo was taken about 10 feet back away from the truck.
Photo 2 is a close up of the wheel. There is a slight color difference between the wheel and the cap, but you have to be looking for it.
Photo 3 indicates where I used my Dremel to cut some of the cap away to allow it to fit the wheel. BTW, these are very snug. I tried to pry one off with my fingers and it did not budge. My last set came off easily.
