The drive wheel is the end of the axle shaft; it has lugs protruding from it. The lugs are separate pieces that are mounted in the drive wheel. The drive wheel bolts onto the brake drum and the wheel rim of the car itself. It is usually a disc about six or seven inches in diameter. Occasionally the drive wheel and the axle shaft are all one piece.
Perhaps you mean lugnuts? I'm not sure i fully understand what you are asking.

If the "thing" is just a straight pin pushed through a narrow transverse hole in the axle, it would be called a "cotter pin". But if it's a different shape, like a ring or a cup, then it would be called something else.

Snap rings-or some will say retainer rings.
It really depends on the type of vehicle--some have a C-shaped retainer located inside the differential, some are pressed into the differential and some use a flange with bolts holding it.
