I'm about to get my 370mm tec 1 wheel retrimmed by Royal Steering Wheels. Its the same price for black or tri coloured stitching.

What peoples opinions of tri coloured on a non mtec car?

It's going on a chromie convertible.

I think even on an M car the tri colour stitching is a bit over the top and ebay-esque. Your choice though.

if you don't mind interrupting but I'm thinking of having mine refurbished as well (the same wheel in plain stitching)) how much are they charging .

£130 + p&p, that include padding to make it slightly thicker.

Stick with black stitching and printed leather for the OEM look.

Especially on an original looking car.
