Yep, any wheels for the B3 or earlier can be made to work, but it'll take a minute or two with a hobby knife to change the drive a bit.
You'll need to enlarge the hole a bit from the back to 1/4", but be careful to to remove too much, as you still want the wheel to run true. A bit like a countersink, really.
Also, you'll need to enlarge the "slots" that the drive pin rests in a bit. This mod is not obvious, but is necessary as the "roll pin" that the early cars used is a larger diameter from the later pins.
Here's some photos of the work on some normal rims.
I've also got j-concepts B3 5-spoke wheels for the car - and they do look awesome indeed.
Good luck!
