In a word, NO

. To replace your 2-spoke with a 3-spoke you will need to replace the airbag
as well as the wheel itself. I am in the same situation as I would like the JCW 3-spoke with
carbon fibre inserts. I think Birds do some sort of re-trim on your existing wheel but that is
over £400.

Some people are like a Slinky ........ not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs
