    Anyone used Wet Okole seat covers?

    I was thinking of picking up these seat covers to protect my sport seats this winter. Does anyone have any experience with them? I know that they are a "custom fit" but how well do they really fit? Thanks!

    Just did some research on these :) They are an excellent fit - I've see the non-sports and they look like a professional recovering. I love the material - if I were driving my e30 in the winter it'd have a set on them. They sent me a catalog with some material samples free - real cool company.

    I'm definitely getting a set for my Wrangler. Worth the money IMO - let us know what you end up doing!

      I've never seen them in an E30, but I've seen em in all kinds of different cars and they all fit good, pretty good company.

        I had them in my eta a few years ago, and they are now in my parents' ix. They're pretty badly worn after 4+ years of daily driving, but the fit is great and they are the TITS if you surf, mountain bike, or do other dirty or wet sports.

            If you have vinyl or leather seats won't the covers slide around the surface a bit?

              neoprene sticks to your body like no other, I would think it should be alright on seats. :shrug

                I hate the feel of neoprene to my skin, so I'm not a fan of the Wet Okoles, but the ones they make for Vaders do look cool.

                I'll stick to my faded black fuzzy seat covers, mad pimp

                  Yeah but when I've ridden on leather or vinyl when wearing my wet suit when its dry... I slide all over the place.

                    That's because you weren't velcro'ed and fastened to the seat. The underside of the neoprene seat covers isn't neoprene, it's got some padding on them which seems to stick to the seets.

                    I just got mine in today for my e30, installed them in like an hour or so, only because i finally decided to fix the pulley in my drivers side seat before putting that one on. Normally would only take like 10 minutes max( which includes just staring at how great they fit). Alow more time for viewing pleasure, i'm stunned.... Almost perfect! I suggest you get them if you have yet to purchase any covers. Can take pics if you want.

                      according to their website the outer layer is nylon, and neoprene is inside the nylon sandwich

                        Another option...

                        Haven't seen this in person, but you may want to check them out:



                        Seller's name is Iggeeseatcovers or something like that. I'm not affiliated with them and have never done business with them so I can't recommen them, but it's another option out there you might not be aware of. Maybe someone who has done business with them can chime in. I'd be interested in hearing some feedback myself.

                        I saw Oklees for the first time this past weekend at the LA Autoshow. Didn't care for them myself, but that's just my personal opinion. A less expensive option than reupholstering leather, but it looked it too. Again, just my opinion.

                              I've researched these in the past. they look good, most everyone who used them said the fit well and lasted a bit. the company does offer group pricing
