Is a wheel measured from rim to rim across the center?

bead to bead, actually. Don't know why you're asking, but don't forget
about offset and bolt circle either.

When it is noted a 16" wheel, how is this figured?

Ah, I thought you were talking about width, sorry. The overall diameter
of the wheel will be a little larger than the nominal size, so if you
measure a wheel at, say, 15-3/8" (to pull a number out of my ass) it is
a 15" rim. Definitely not a 16" in this example.
