It's actual name is a Rhonrad. It was started actually as a gymnastic event, focussing on muscle control/flexibility..especially abdominal strength, and balance. Starting in Germany it gained support in Europe but because of it's size and non-ease of transport took more time to catch on globally.
It has been used in a Janet Jackson video, a Jackie Chan movie, a Woody Allen movie and more recently in two of Cirque Du Soleils shows (Quidam and La Nouba).
Prometheus was in contact with a manufacturer from Canada who was charging $1000 for his design, but it only broke down into 2 or 3managable componenets, not really travelable ones.
Prometheus and I have also brainstormed for about 2 years on a more collapseable design.
There is alot of information about them online with any search engine, but most is gymnastics related.
Hope this helps.

German wheel,
two rings set apart from each otherby a span of about a foot big enough to hold onto in side so you hahave a huge coin shaped thingo and spin round in incredibly difficlut and impressive manners. There's also the on wheel version. I know a juggler in Athens who's also one of the best club swingers I know who's called German Wheel Chris. That's all I know except I saw the one wheel version at Cirque Eloise.
Cheerio.
