Can anyone recommend a wheel trimmer?

I have a 370 Tech 1 wheel which I want to get done.

Thanks

There is Jack at royal steering wheels who charges around £130 and takes 10 days but recent posts on the m3 cutters and the csl register showing quite frankly shocking stitching quality possibly points to him out sourcing work...

There's a couple of re-trimmers on ebay..

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261511012238? ... EBIDX%3AIT (stitching not in right positions but you'd probably be able to confirm this)..

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/130720060819? ... EBIDX%3AIT

Both look pretty damn good, make sure the stitch line is at 6 O'clock like original!... there's some re-trimmed mtech1 wheels on ebay that have stitching joins at 10 O'clock and 2 O'clock, there's one that has stitching joins at 2, 4, 8 & 10 O'clock!

I had my e46 m3 wheel done at Royal wheels 2-3 years back and it was great....

I was going to get the 385mm wheel I bought off of you re-covered but it is too good to bother. I have though just bought a 370mm mtech1 wheel in new nappa and tri-colour mtech stitching on ebay which looks superb
:cool:
