It's just the same stroboscopic effect you often see in movies where the 
wagon wheels appear to go backward.

It's basically this -- assume for example, the spokes are 10 degrees 
apart and the timing lets them move 8 degrees clockwise each frame. 
This will give the appearance of them moving 2 degrees counterclockwise 
each frame.  Perhaps you can play with the timing to come up with better 
results, but I have no specific suggestions of how to do this.
