The online Toyota dealers want about $2 a piece for these. They are the same ones the Supra (and a host of other Toyotas) use. Lexus seems to think people don't know this and are asking above retail pricing for the same piece.

He was forced to replace them all because he couldn't be confident out on the track. Be safe OP, you don't want to catch a hard corner and off goes your wheel.
Thanks for the help and info, appreciated.

It's booked into service for Monday so I'll see how much they charge me.
