We also used pneumatic tires with a custom machined rim (so no holes to track with an optical sensor). Unless we attached a magnet to the wheel and used a hall effect sensor below it... but that would destabilize the already fairly shaky wheel unless we used a *tiny* magnet.

Paint the wheel black and then attach a piece of reflective tape and use an optical sensor.
