Bob, I used a Wheelskins cover for my stock TR4 wheel. Their sizes are a
function of wheel diameter and grip circumference, and I had no trouble
with fit. Some chain stores carry them, or you can order online. I
didn't see a list of distributors on the site, but you can probably
google an online store. Next time I install one I'll use work gloves
since my hands were sore after installing it, from pulling the thread
tight over and over. But it was fairly quick, I installed it over lunch
while the steering wheel was on the car. Around $40 now, I remember it
being around $30 a year or two ago but I remember my engine rebuild
being less than it was too. NFI.
