Do you pronounce the h in wheel?
The short answer is, yes. But the sound, as you probably know, is at the beginning of the pronounced word, as in ‘hwich’ or ‘hwere’. But ‘received English’ speakers (as spoken in the so called ‘Queen’s English’ ) would demand that the ‘H‘ is sounded, and it sounds good.

Will VS wheel pronunciation?
To pronounce wheel try saying “wee-ul” once you can say wee-ul for wheel you will be able to hear the difference between wheel and will yourself. In BBC English, a short vowel for will and a long one for wheel. As others have said, not all English accents make this distinction.
