Stay away from Sydney Motor Trimmers, retrimmed my wheel and not happy with it.
I've heard good things about Doyles, they are dearer though. |

You can get the insert through FCP Euro for 63 USD - genuine BMW..
https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...m3-32300430403 Check it's compatible with your wheel first.. Simon |

Personal opinion is not to do it.
Alcantara trim will need plenty of maintenance and if you don't shampoo/wash and brush it frequently, it will get sticky and dirty ... urghhh... |

Looks great when they are clean (was strongly considering one for my car) but give them a couple of months of even just natural oils/greasy hands and they dont look great. BUT... just means you have to give it a good clean every now and then - good excuse for an internal detail  |
