This would depend on the age, design and builder of any particular UFO. You'll find that UFOs visiting from the outer galaxies are much older (they have much further to travel) and often have four wheels or more. This is in case of break down of their levitation drives, they can be towed to a hangar for repair.
UFOs visiting from the nearer galaxies are much more modern and have no wheels. The reliability of there levitation drives is almost 100% and, in case of breakdown, they have 'drive home low' drives which have been developed by an Earth tyre manufacturer.

Steam driven units tended to have multiple smallish driving wheels for heavy freight service in high gravity fields. The Union Galactic "Big Boy" of the 1940s was one such. In this case the wheel arrangement was 4-8-8-4. The front four wheels were pilots, intended to increase stability at speed, while the rear four supported the firebox. The sixteen driving wheels were connected to four cylinders. Despite their size, these were said to be easy to fire. While at least one was converted to oil firing, it was later reconverted to coal.
Passenger units for higher speeds often used the 4-6-2 arrangement where the six driving wheels were larger than those used in freight service. In the late 19th century, some passenger units used in low gravity areas used a 4-2-2 arrangement with a pair of very large driving wheels. These were known as "spinners" and were used on the Londulon- Midnebula- Scottia routes for a while. As with many other units in the sector, the LMS spinners had inside cylinders so they presented a very clean appearance. But the short cabin offered little protection to the crew.
With the advent of Diesel-electric and electric traction these distinctions have become muted and it is frequently difficult to distinguish a freight unit from a passenger unit by merely looking at the wheels. Even so, closer inspection shows that the freight unit bogies usually have six driving wheels while lighter duty units may have just four per bogie.

UFO's are unidentified flying objects so even scientists do not know what it really looks like. It can be anything found moving in the sky not just a vehicle. It has remained a mystery for the last 50 years.

Well, since UFO means Unidentified Flying Object, it would technically vary wildly from object to object. The traditional disk UFO doesn't have any, for instance...

All UFOs have these three little legs that stick down as they approach the ground.
So,none!

I think it has NO wheels at all.But I don't think so because nobody saw a UFO before.Even me.If you saw an UFO,that's could be my sister.Maybe in tv shows said UFO's has 4-5 wheels.OK I hope this helped!

Whoa!
That's a Trick Question!
Because with the steering wheel, they have 16!

It depends!
I have seen one with no wheels and I have seen one with 4 wheels and I have seen some without wheels,but they had legs!
