Early B wheels are the same size as the wires, I think (4.5 inches). They 
are 14" diameter.

Here's another question:
Most later Midgets got 13" Rostyle wheels, like the MGB 14" wheels. 
A friend has a '72ish Midget with 13" steel wheels that have a pattern 
similar to the MGB V8 (Square cutouts around the perimeter) rather than the 
"4 spoke" Rostyles. Was this the European factory wheel?
