Also I'm not familiar with your tape measure, but every other tape measure I've ever used does not start measurements at the end of the tape, but at a little bit further up. It seems to me the start of your measuring tape is where your finger is covering (though I can't tell because your finger is covering it) If so, that would put your wheel at 5" thick.
Don't get me wrong, I would much rather be proved wrong and there be no change in the wheels. Just trying to make sure data is correct and consistent.

That is true - I forgot the pic was on the right - I had re-measured this morning on the left and got the same 4.5".
Re-remeasuring now, being as disciplined as possible with the tools available, measuring from the 1" mark to remove the end as a variable, then confirming my measurement against a precision 6 inch ruler (which I admit introduces some variablility) I get 4 15/32". I have the pics if you really want them. Like I said in the other thread, I apologize for not having a fabric tape graduated to 1/64"s
