This is fun but not too serious crypo. Your wheels have period 16. Give wheel0 9 elements instead of 8 and the period goes to 144=9*16. If the keyword is relatively prime in length, multiply by that length to get the new period. With a long enough plaintext, it's pretty easy to deduce the repetition length and language. From that follows character frequency analysis.
It's also a concern that addition of random elements in a fixed range _reduces_ randomness.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
