How much are oem leather seats? Anywhere from dirt cheap to over a grand. Depends on condition, whether they are just covers or the seats themselves, etc.

If you want OEM, then keep an eye on ebay. I got some '02 EXV6 leather seats, front and rear for 300, in mint condition. But if your car is older like a 5th gen, it'll be harder to find nice oem seats. Look into catzkit or similiar leather seat covers.

If you want racing seats, be prepared for the advantages but also drawbacks like comfort, fitment, etc.

And generally you get what you pay for with no-name race seats on ebay. There was a nice article in SCC a while back where they tried out a bunch of racing seats and rated them. If you are in the market, you should look at it.
