I just noticed that I am missing a cap, talked to dealer and his responce was, never seen a cap like this, here is a plastic one for you...
Mine is chrome plated and a green insert on top, any one know where I can get a replacement.

Huh. The original Gens came with a chrome cap but Hyundai switched to plastic very early due to rusting I was told. I didn't know they switched back.
Can't the service department order it for you? Assuming it's OEM I don't see why not. Or isn't it?

Got green inserted chrome caps on my (wifes) Lexus. They were put on the car so that you can tell the tires were filled with nitrogen instead of FREE air! I will have to look and see if I can tell where they came from as the nitrogen fill came with some type of warranty and roadside assistance, which I believe was registered with a company. I'll look once the car gets home!

Can't you pick them up at your local auto parts shop? I think I have two extra sets somewhere in my garage... they're only a couple a bucks for the set, from what I recall.

What about this website? They seem to have a ton.

Just wanted to followup . . . .

My wifes Lexus has brushed chrome/aluminum caps with at green top. They were installed the last time she took the car for service. Of course I didn't know about this until she got home and showed me the invoice. Basically she was charged $69.99 plus tax to have her tires filled with nitrogen and to be enrolled into some auto club called Nitrofill. Of course I called the dealership and blasted them for this unauthorized scam. I refuse to pay for air as the jury is still out as to whether there is a real gain from filling your tires with nitrogen, especially at $70! Of course they claimed she authorized it. So they took off $25. Not enough in my book. But they are on notice that it won't happen again!

Sorry for the long story about a Lexus. I know this is a Genesis forum. But I promised earlier in this thread that I would let the OP know something about the green caps. Here is the link just in case you are interested in further info.
