I actually favor this approach. A complete reflective circle does say "wheel", but it doesn't tell anyone if the wheel is moving or not or in which direction. Having only a small number of individual reflective patches on the rim not only indicates that it's a wheel, it also tells the onlooker where that wheel is going and how fast, and I think this is information that would help a driver to avoid a possible collision.
