Wire Wheel Knock

Someone recently inquired about worn splines on wire wheels. I bought new
wire wheels, but not new hubs. My front hubs are fine, the rear hubs
probably not so fine. Once one goes bad, does the other one go too? I
mean, did I destroy my wheels by putting them on bad splines? Or are the
wheels harder than the hubs so that the splines on the hubs wear, not the
wheels?
FYI, someone did mention that MGB hubs were the same. I have been told by
Valley Wire Wheel that this is not true. Though they may fit and tighten,
the angles on the back of the wheel and the front of the hub will not match
up properly. So I've been told.
