Basically as the title says:
What are being used as the wheels on this BW.

Look like from a child's toy. Probably a dumper truck of some sort.

However, firing ordinance at someone isn't nearly as threatening as firing ordnance at someone.
Ordinance is a local law, or bill, or other form of legislation.
Ordnance is high caliber explosives.
No 'I' in ordnance.
Don't drown the enemy in legislation, drown them in explosives.

Poundland is a good place to look for that kind of thing.

Hey, long time lurker here
I've seen these wheels before, they're defiantly LEGO wheels. Link: http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/LEGO-Wheels-6118
Pretty sure these are what you're after

Well i don't think those are lego wheels as they seem to miss the hole in the middle the wheels have to attach them. But lego wheels make good wheels non the less.
The only problem i see is the rubbery material of the larger wheels and how well paint will stick to them due to that. It might flake off if they are too flexible.

I agree they're not Lego - almost all Lego wheels have a staggered block pattern, nothing like real life. However, Lego wheels are a great option.
As for painting the wheels, prime them before assembly with a self-etching primer. That may hold.

Hey mate.
I'm a long time lego builder and i guarantee you those are not lego wheels. lego puts there trademark on there tyres which in this case there is none, meaning these are neither lego or Tonka for that matter. Could be from a John deere tractor childs toy.
Beyond that I have no idea.
