Given the weight of most seats I'd weld a square base on the chair to roller wheels or leave it fixed.

This might help, http://www.instructables.com/id/Cheap-Car-Seat-Office-Chair/
Probably a lot more to it than just welding it together. Car seats are heavy, probably need to center it, and then how about when you sit on it, where is most of the weight going to be and what not. Get the widest base of rolling wheels imo. Also, wouldn't it suck to sit in a car seat all day? My arse falls asleep on road trips...
That is more or less what I planned on doing, only using a piece of metal, no plywood. And yes, I know I need to center the weight, not the chair else it will tip over. lol
JB weld? :lol:
Just buy one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Cipher-CPA5001-Office-Racing-Leatherette/dp/B00AU6ZQVM/ref=pd_sim_sbs_hg_3
That's actually pretty cheap and about what I was looking to pay for a seat anyway. That's a good back up option. Thanks Goodhart.

It ended up being that car seats are not equal from side to side, the balance is off, and there were a few other things I can't remember. I made the bracket for it and everything, but it looked like ass and didn't feel right. The Recaro chairs were different, a buddy of mine has one and it's pretty cool. You would probably have better luck with aftermarket seats since they are universal from side to side.

^How much does something like that cost??
$279, not bad! I wish I knew if it was comfy or not though. I don't think they have them on the showroom at Office Depot :P
