The Jargon Dictionary : 

wheel     

n.  [from slang `big wheel'  for a powerful person]  A person who has an
active wheel  bit. "We  need to find  a wheel to  unwedge the  hung tape
drives." (See wedged,  sense 1.) The traditional  name of security group
zero in BSD (to which the major  system-internal users like root belong)
is `wheel'. Some vendors have  expanded on this usage, modifying Unix so
that only members of group `wheel' can go root.

HTH, Gerd.
