If it's an ellipse, is there some easy to find relation between the wheel diameter and roller diameter that i'm missing?

We found that two radii with a "point" between them was the optimal shape for rollers. This was through experimentation only, and I'm not sure of the math behind it. Since the parts are patterned, it's simple to adjust the effective diameter by tweaking a single roller. Your mileage may vary, of course.
