Yes I have done so. The results are great. dye kits are on ebay for around 20 quid and is more than enough to do a wheel.
So far I have done Sandstone on Sandstone, Greystone into Sandstone and Sandstone into Neptune Blue

Send member ‘black and white’ a message on here, I’m sure Bob will have some dye that will suit.

Just unclip the plastic part from the back of the original wheel and swap them over.

It's better to take it off before you paint the leather parts in any event
