I found four original alloy wheels with caps for a good price. Some cleaning up and paint touch up and they'll look great. ;D

Here's a picture of how it should look like when new... Please save the picture to your computer if you think you need it. It will only be available for one month in the site. It's my picture so I can give you a permission to use it as long as photographer information is published with the picture.

Thanks, I saw this too late. When I got the four wheels and center caps, they were very dirty. Probably 20+ years of brake dust and oxidation. I used EagleOne Etching Mag Cleaner to get them clean to the metal. Then I polished the machined surfaces with Mother's Aluminum Polish to remove any final oxides formed during cleaning. I wiped down the entire wheel with paint thinner, and am painting them with Rustoleum Crystal Clear Enamel. So far they look good. Also, I purchased the Toyota Lexus OEM Mag Lug Nuts from ezAccessory.com. You cannot use standard lug nuts from the auto parts store.
