wheel tracking

My team uses a crab drive for driving the robot. All four wheels are on mounts, which are connected to a chain that goes around all four mounts. There is then another motor that turns the chain, in turn, rotating all of the wheels at the same time.

Anyway, I need some help. I have been trying to figure out how I can track the rotation of the wheels. This way, the driver can see which way the wheels are pointing on the dashboard.

I need help finding out how to do this, do I use encoders, gear tooth sensors, mathmatical equations, etc. Any help would be appreciated.
