Yes, it's possible. Your first route of exploration may be through the:

moving_start()

and

moving_end()

events.

Another approach would be to use llGetVel(), which returns the velocity vector. You could be really fancy and make the wheel rotation match the speed 8-)

There are helicopters and airplanes that spin their propellors while they fly. Maybe find one of those and disassemble it.
