mono IV multi-piece?
not sure about UK, but in US Brabus North America had a huge sale on those not long ago. The 18s or 19s went for like $1500 ish for a set of single piece.
I like the T1-R for being a very quiet ride tyre (lol), but I don't like how slow the turn in response is. For around the same price Hankook has the k104 or the S1. I like the k104 (which I have on mine) better than the T1-R.

The IV series is discontinued. I wouldnt pay more than $2k for a set now as the prices drop like flies. The problem is if you wreck a rim beyond repair you are out a whole set that can't be replaced. I found out the hard way with a 2 piece 18" set of IV series....
Also - 265 is too wide in the rear unless you roll the fenders. I wouldn't go wider than a 255 unless you work on the fenders.

I would say it's a bad deal. Like FrankW said, Brabus NA had a clearance a while ago on their discontinued wheels. The guys at TWS had quite a few of them back then for cheap. I think I even remember seeing a Lexus with the Mono IV at their shop.
That was also about the same time I got my front and rear Brabus BBK.

Spacers
The springs dropped both ends and looked really great (really low!). Problem is when you have a full load of 4 total adult passengers! If you cross a slight dip, the rear fender will rub. BTW, my rear fenders have already been rolled prior.
Solution:
Replace stock rear shim spacers that go on top of the coil springs with the next thicker set. I think it has a three dot marker but I'm not sure. Even with a full load, it is very rare for the rear tires to rub the fender walls.
