The range of prices on these things is absurd. $50-800 each, all claiming to be genuine Toyota parts.

Admittedly the cheap end of that spectrum is Amazon, and I just assume everything sold there to be a knock off.

But, what's the best place to buy a set that confidently actually is OE Toyota/Lexus?

... is there a difference between the Lexus and Toyota part here? Same part number..... but different weight and price?

There is a difference between front and back, but Lexus and Toyota are the same. Just Lexus is a few $ more for some reason. I have an LX and got the Toyota parts.

The shipping comes out close to 80-100ish I think. Again not sure what tariffs add to that price.

I just placed an order with Impex. Looks like 15% is the tarrif.

Please update this when you get the bill. I’ve been reading all sorts of brokerage fees these carriers are charging and that’s what has been keeping me from going through impex.

I’ve seen some on eBay that are selling for $230 when i asked they were at least honest about it and said they’re aftermarket. There is one seller that’s selling what they’re saying is oem for $779 which is in line with what it would cost if you ordered from impex+shipping
 
I ordered wheel bearings and associated parts, so even with shipping and tarrifs Impex was still significantly cheaper.

I’ll let you know what the tarrifs final bill is.

I’m going to be a guinea pig and order some aftermarket globes. We will see how these fair. I just can’t afford the prices on the oem ones at this point
 
Impex hasn’t sent me the shipping or tax bill yet. They are still sourcing one more part, before they update my order. Should be in the next week or so.

FYI, if you can’t wait for parts, Impex is not the answer. If you have plenty of time and are looking for excellent pricing (depending on new tariffs) they are great. This is my 3rd order from them in the last 3 years or so.

There was some discussion in one old tread about using Citroen globes. You might search for that.
 
"Those" as in the Pleiades globes?
 
On my invoice......
LEXUS FRONT SUSPENSION SPHERE (BLUE BAND) Part no. TYSF
LEXUS REAR SUSPENSION SPHERE Part no. TYSR

What is did was email them and ask for a quote, then when globes are ready to ship you can call them to give card number. I've done this twice with no issues and ridiculously fast shipping.

Thanks for the info, I just sent them an email.
 
I’m interested in a set of Pleiades globes, have heard good things about them. Does anyone have their contact details and would be able to share them?
