I wish. Not to flog a dead horse (or a Piggeott), but mine was most
definitely rubber, too. The stitching was moulded rubber - I tried that
one day and "picked" off some stitches! Another wheel I had had a hunk
missing, and if it was leather over the foam, it was thinner than my
thinnest pair of driving gloves!
That said, who cares? They are a great OEM steering wheel - too bad they
cost so much to replace. My GT6 currently uses a Momo Monte Carlo wheel,
though I also have a wood rimmed Grant wheel, an early TR6 wheel, a TR 250
wheel (sorry, no padding), and a 16" green flake plastic thing that would
look perfect in something with ladder bars and dice hanging from the dash!
