Did Motor wheel manufacture 14 inch wire wheels?
Apparently not but you might be able to find 14" Kelsey Hayes wire wheels:
"Kelsey Hayes Thunderbird Sports RoadsterWhen Ford tooled up for its special-edition '62 and '63 Thunderbird roadster, it patronized one of its long-standing vendors, Kelsey Hayes. Just as Motor Wheel did for the smaller Dodge, Kelsey lip-laced these wheels to fit them under the narrower T-bird.
Speaking of Motor Wheel, there are a few important things to understand about T-bird wheels. The Kelsey wheels that Ford sold on the Sports Roadster and in its parts departments from 1962 onward were different from those available for the earlier T-birds. According to Jimmy, those earlier wheels were made by Motor Wheel. They were never a factory-authorized Ford part. The official Ford wheels also had a 14-inch diameter."

Truespoke has 14 inch which I had on my '59 DeSoto. They were the exact wheel but are custom made for 14 through 17 inch. Check them out at truespoke.com.
