I have looked at the pix and have determined that the wheel in my TR4 is the
leather variety from Vicky Brit.  I like it just fine.  It is solid,
comfortable and good-looking.

The original wheel was included with my TR4.  The rim is a bit banged-up.  I
might want to use the larger-diameter wheel if Sue has a problem with
parking and needs the leverage.  I'm thinking a red leather rim cover, to
match the red interior, might be an eye-catcher.  Dunno where I'd get one.
