If you're not doing any racing and want them for looks at a good price, i suggest you not to buy them.
Reason? There are plenty "good" looking racing seats that are replicas of actual high-end seats. What happens is that they cheap out on quality and you're sitting on an un-safe seat. Trust me, I've seen cars crash with replica seats and they just fall apart.
Question, are you going to be racing your car on the track? If not then don't get them, cause you're giving up lexus comfort and quality for... looks?

They don't even have a brand! If you want good quality racing seats, you should get name brand that's trusted. You shouldn't get racing seats "just 'cause". It needs to protect you; hence why people put in racing seats.

Sparco is a good brand to trust. I'd get them, but like vietunit said; Get some really good seats so you won't need to upgrade and spend more cash in the future. Don't half-a$$ it basically.

Those look like the seats they sell at checker- I've seen them and sat in them in person at a checker. I wasn't impressed. Seats are safety equipment- would you jump into an NFL game with a sports memorabilia replica helmet that looks the part? There's a lot of engineering that goes into a seat just like any other peice of safety equipment
