The pups should stay with mum until they are 4 weeks old.
At 4 weeks old, the pups should be split into male and female groups. With dwarf hamsters, the female pups could stay with mum. There is a risk of them fighting. The male pups must be removed into a different cage at 4 weeks old.
If you take the female pups out into their own cage at 4 weeks old then mum could have her wheel back.
I would not give a wheel full time to pups until they are 16 weeks (i.e. 4 months) old. Therefore if the female pups stay with mum, I do not put a wheel in at 4 weeks old.
5 weeks old is the youngest a baby hamster should be rehomed to a new home.
I hope this is more clear.
