Wheel made his international debut on 2 February 1974 versus Ireland and between 1974 and 1982 he formed a formidable second-row partnership for Wales with Allan Martin during the second 'golden-age' of the Wales international team.

A large uncompromising figure, Wheel had a noticeable twitch which only served to make him more intimidating.[citation needed] In 1977 Wheel, along with Willie Duggan of Ireland, became the first players to be sent off in a Five Nations international match.

Wheel is the organist in the Parish of St Thomas in Swansea where he also runs Geoff's Tuck Shop at the Boys Brigade every Wednesday.[citation needed] In 2011 he agreed to become the president of a Welsh male voice choir, the Swansea-based Gwalia Singers.[citation needed]
