I have always thought that they are canting arms because of the similar sounds between «rodelo», «rodar»~«rolling», and «rueda»~«wheel».
The expression «Heralds don’t pun – they cant» is itself a form of wordplay. At first glance, one might think that «cant» derives from «can’t», meaning that heralds cannot make puns. However, in heraldry, «cant» refers to the practice of creating a coat of arms that visually alludes to the bearer’s name, surname, or sometimes to a toponym. Such arms are known as «canting arms» ~ «armas parlantes» in Castilian. For example, if one were to design a coat of arms for someone named Megan Fox, and considering that the name Megan derives from Margaret, meaning «pearl» in Greek, a possible canting design could include a fox surrounded by a bordure of pearls. In this sense, canting arms represent the heraldic equivalent of verbal wordplay. Thus, «heralds do not pun — they cant».

A wagon-wheel is an outer circle of iron, with an inner circle of wood and spokes also of wood, then the wagon-wheel proper has the color of the wood.
The number of spokes could be specified in the blazon, but most of the time it is left to the license of the artist, 6, 8, I like to paint more, for example, 12.
