The common name was 'blowing from a gun'. The victims were not tied to the wheels, but to the muzzle of the cannon. The practice was mostly in use in the Indian Mughal Empire. In most cases, blanks were fired which already reached the desired effect. "Heavy" cannon were not needed; light artillery pieces did the trick as well.
