Do link wheel work? I mean there may be many cases of unintentional link wheels on the Web.
 
You are a little late. By little I mean to say just a dozen of years
 
Ok so how does Google treat natural link wheel for big sites. Does it discredit it too?
 
Link wheels are penalizable. It’s a big no.

You can still do linkwheels within a site these days, ie using internal pages. Check out Kyle Roof's onpage SEO course for details.
 
It depends on the size of the wheel. A 3 site wheel not. Maybe a 12 site while it may somewhat work, but generally nowadays best idea is micrositing and pyramids/tiers
 
What are link wheels , they act like link pyramids or any different kind of strategy ?
 
Lol after panda and penguin updates what is going to be the next animal update :D
Ferret update !!

Its when pages link to each other in the form of a close ring. They all can also link to a common independent page to give a tiered structure as well.

It means like an tier link pyramid backlinks ! Like getting high quality tier 1 backlinks and then blast tier 2 backlinks upon them !
 
I think search engines just do general link analysis on the WWW, they don't care whether it forms a wheel or not. As OP said wheels are formed by accident too. If one site gets penalized on the way, those links get nuked and the wheel is broken, that's what matters.

No it will be link wheel when all 1st tiers link in a pattern like a single directional link ring. If they are all money sites you can avoid the spokes. There is no definite pattern but there need to be atleast one ring.

Probably thats why they say to add good content unlike spun or automated content.

the short answer, it's a gamble,
anything from the old link wheels, spammy blasts and similar techniques do work for many people,
but it's not really something to rely on for a long-term project,
it could simply do not work at all or fall out within a couple of months or with the next G update,
while for many others, it could last and work pretty well for years,

to sum it up,
you can use it for a side project where you're ready to lose everything for it
