      It's on the seller's website, $1050.

      I watched some of the seller's FB/Instagram videos on refurbishing BMW wheels, not cheap but he does absolutely superb work.

          Certainly unique. Perhaps too flashy unless it's on an actual M3.

          OP, did you have to cut the center section apart to make an inset section for the fabric? Can't say I've ever seen it done this way on an M-Tech 1.

          EDIT:
          Ah, upon closer inspection it looks like you added extra leather wrapped pieces on the outside of the three center spokes?
          It works so well with the thicker rim that I didn't even notice at first.

            Pretty bold and unique going with the M tech cloth in the center. It's cool to see something different.

                    I think it would work perfectly for someone who has mtech fabric on the seats. Yes I had to cut grooves in the wheel. Yes the whole wheel is covered in leather including the whole back side
