Make sure it isn't just dirt build up that needs to be cleaned first.

An upholstery shop should be able to dye the leather or replace it if necessary. You could try a cheap fix of finding a leather dye yourself. Or check ebay for wheels for sale.

If you replace it, then replace the squeaky ABS contact ring too.

Actually, thats how I found out the leather color was coming off by cleaning it with lexol and warm soapy water just enough to lightly scrub it with a white towel.
Thanks I will look into an upholstery shop
