Harry,
The answer to your first question is yes. If the charge rotation is about a dimension that is not along the circumference of the wheel then I think it would radiate in the far field. I have never considered that type of movement before, but I am confident that there would not be enough points(2) along the direction of rotation to balance out in the far field. Had the charge been continuous over the entire surface then the far field would balance out. You ask an interesting question. When I visualize a system of this type I attempt to see if it is possible to deconstruct the charge movement into individual loops that are continuous. If this can be done, then the far field will balance out and you will only have a near field magnetic effect.

So, for example, a uniformly charged circular ring spinning like a wheel will not radiate? Will it radiate if it is rotating about its diameter?
