CF would probably be my last choice for this, but, putting that aside, you
only need three images for each wheel - the starting image, the spinning
image and the stopping image. Then, when the wheels roll, you can use js
to flash the spinning image for some period of time before you display the
stopping image. You could randomize the delay within a range, so that the
wheels would not stop at the same time or in the same order.
I would probably be inclined to use Flash or Java.
