I love the look of these seats. But I am a fat boy and wonder if I'd be comfortable in them.

Does one have to be 160 lbs or or have a max waistline of 30 inches or whatever to enjoy them?

I'm 5'11" and about 200lbs, and they felt very comfy to me. I drove in them for only a short period of time, but didn't notice any discomfort. They were a lot easier to get into and out of than the Sparco racing seats that I tried out too.

I LOVE those seats. Do you know if they come in any other color than black? For instance..savanah beige? Or do I need to change the color of my interior to get them to look correct? Not a good option.

Wow, looks great AND weighs less - what a combination!
Fortunately for my wallet they don't come in Metropol Blue...

Actually, they come in any color you want. You can order them in any color that the standard seats came with.
