depends on who made them, and how they made them... some are just 3.5" rims turned around so they're wide, some have a band welded into them, all made by various companies, back yarders and everyone inbetween from original 3.5" rims with no real consistency

unless they're Cooper S style ones with LP918 stamped on one of the hubcap lugs, in which case they're 4.5", but I doubt it...

To know how wide, measure between the rim edges where the tyre seals, not the very outer edge, go to the nearest 1/2 inch.
Steel rims can be from 3.5 to 7 inch +
