That seat will compliment a set of Rota rims very nicely

Those things will look like poo-poo in a few months IMO. The $2 dollar fabric will start to get all fuzzy and look horrible most likely. The only seats I'd probably get are some good seats with a Recaro SRD type semi-suede.

I agree... they look great but you have to wonder how they will hold up.

The other thing is that a car seat is really an intergral piece of saftey equipment. Would you buy "unbranded" seatbelts? (even if they were JDM? )

My point is I'd hate to get these and have them peel right off the floor of the car in a front end collision. Stick with OEM or FIA Approved IMO.
