What are they worth? GS300 Borbets

[MattLS400]

I have had my LS for a few weeks now and I really like the wheels on it but I am curious to know if they are worth anything.

GS300 grandstand Borbets 8.5J front and 10J rears (i have heard the 10J are pretty rare), original diamond cut and original center caps. Pilot super sports on the 10J and continentals on the 8.5J

I also have a spare 8.5J in the boot.

All wheels are in very good condition.

Cheers

Is that a JDM import? Just looking at the shape of the front numberplate.

Found this but going back 11 years, not much interest at the time

It is a UK spec but it has had the front bumper smoothed to look like an import. 

Cheers for the link, £400 is cheap but that was 11 years ago like you said.

Everything japanese has shot up in value in recent years.

Hi Matt

They are rare wheels, its hard to find the staggered wheel set. I've got a set on my GS300 Mk1. Even rarer to find one that hasnt been welding etc.

Are you looking to sell them?

Agree, the staggered sets are quite rare, I have a set still (even though I don’t have a Lexus anymore 🤣)

they are desirable for the Supra brigade (staggered sets) so there can be money to be made by advertising in the right place.
