Yes, I found my supply of small wheels (which I'd previously thought of as
being large and annoying) suddenly dried up when I started carriage mounting
a lot of my guns.
My small cannon designs us 1x1 round plates as wheels, mounted directly to
the SNOT carriages (2 2x2 L plates), and although they don't function as
wheels, they do look the part.
Perhaps you could use http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/2436 or similar to
SNOT mount some 1x1 rounds as wheels on the larger guns?

There's enough techic holes in it to be fairly easy (though I haven't tried
it yet).
