I think one thing that should be fixed is how earned wheels work. Like you say:

    I know that if a superuser shares it, I'm going to be watching my hubwheel go up at least a dot. I am aware that this is not the point of the site, but like karma, I still want it.
And I think that the site encourages you to want it by treating "Wheels Earned" as more important than "Badges Left". I think that the number next to your hubwheel should not be the number of times you've filled it up, but the number of badges you've earned minus the number of badges you've given out. I think treating it as idea currency is more valuable than just "how big am I?"
