you get what you pay for. If you truly want racing seats, light weight, great support, etc....they pony up the cash for real ones. These are so inexpensive, I bet they won't last a month. There are no real pictures of the product, they don't allow pick-up for you to actually inspect them, (if you were local), etc.

I say they are junk, but if you just want to go with that style for appearance reasons, and do not expect that much performance or comfort from them, then go for it....you don't have much to lose with something that cheap.

Careful,

You are looking at premium crap chinese merchandise,

I have actually seen some of these, I would not even use it as an office chair, I would be afraid it will brake in half when I recline it.

The seats in our Minis are a safety item, if you are involved in a crash, you want to make sure that the seat will not brake get you even more injuries.

Sure, its a bargain, but you get what you pay for.

If you must get cheap racing seats, at least get them from JC Whitney, Jegs, or Summit.

I just wanted to see what people would say.....not thinking of buying them. I really like keeping the stock seats, especially with the benefit of the built in air-bags.

I like the fact that the shipping is $150 for a $90 product. I always have agreed with you get what you pay for
