Wheels are used for making a ground vehicle move, most notably rovers. They require Electric charge to function.
Each wheel has a top speed that its motors can produce. Beyond this there is a maximum, or breakdown, speed at which the wheel will break. Broken wheels can be repaired by a level 3 Engineer. Breakdown speed is separate from the impact tolerance that all parts have. Exceeding impact tolerance completely destroys the part with no way to repair it.
