As has been referenced already, (in my opinion) wheel diameter does not seem to matter too much, with one exception: smaller frames for smaller riders can't accommodate larger wheels without causing major toe overlap or a shallower-than-normal head tube (to reduce toe overlap). Which is why many smaller women-specific road bike frames have 650c (571mm) vs 700c (622mm) wheels.
