My wife and daughter perform in a community theater group. The group
has decided on "Oklahoma!" for this summer's production. The biggest
set construction challenge will be the surrey, specifically the spoked
wheels. I may decide to help out with the building.

I have no familiarity with the show, but apparently the surrey will
have to carry two people on four wheels. My first thought was to cut
out a bunch of pie slice holes from a sheet of 3/4" ply, like this:

Leaving aside that this would be a heck of a lot of tedious jigsaw
work (and routering to make the wheels round), do you think the
resulting wheel would be structurally sufficient?

No

As an aside, does Sketchup always
make circles as such visibly-obvious polygons?

It depends upon how many sides you tell it to use.
