Got a Tech 2 wheel at present that could do with a retrim.

Contemplating maybe getting a non-BMW (probably smaller replacement) or just keeping the Tech 2 and getting it recovered.

Opinions?....

Also, anyone know a good quality retrimmer in he Redhill, Surrey area?

Cheers

How bad is the state of your wheel?

The hole is at the centre of the top about the size of a 50p. Just annoying as it in a conspicuous place and I keep catching it.

a re trim is probably £100+ ? a tech 2 is 385ml, you say you want a smaller wheel, a 370ml tech 2 wheel can be had for around £120 on here, that would be the wise move and makes a nice difference to the drive, a lot more so than the 15ml suggests
