Michael,
Seen past 25 years some original TR4s with the 'cream white' steel wheels
that you mention.
I believe it was a way to change the looks a bit on one of the later
production years.
Silver seems more prevalent (like about 75% of the TR4s).
Depending on other features (roof, body color, assessories) the cream might
look good - for me silver.

Subject: TR4 steel wheel colour
Hi,
I have the steel 'disc' wheels fitted on my TR4 and I was wondering about
the thoughts of the list on their proper colour. Piggot states that they
were "finished in silver lacquer or aluminium wheel paint".
Mine are currently finished in a silver lacquer but I have spoken to a PO
who owned the car in the late 60s and 70s who belives that 'cream' was the
correct colour for the wheels on my TR4.
Is it possible that cream is the correct colour? Also what is 'aluminium
wheel paint'- is it the finsih that the CP/CC TR6s had on their steel
wheels? (see Piggot's book page 103 bottom left).
Many thanks in advance.
