Wheel has the meaning of turning about rapidly in various directions. Deal has the meaning of carrying out transactions. Together they come to mean engaging in the advancement of one's own interests, especially in a canny, aggressive, or unscrupulous way.

It means to "negotiate". It is a phrase used mostly when one is in the business world to make transactions happen in their or their company's favor. A broker on Wall Street is considered a very good "Wheeler and Dealer" because he knows how to drive the point home to the prospective buyer of stocks and bonds.
