Your Definition

First coined by DJ Emir as a name used to describe CD playing turntables AKA CDJ's, DVDJs, USB control devices and Ipod DJ devices that pretend to be real turntables. Most of these devices are made of plastic parts. But in this case plastic also has a dual meaning. That second meaning being "fake".

The joke term stems from traditional turntables (Technics 1200's etc) being referred to as "The [Wheels of Steel]"

The extra time and practice it takes to master the art using the "[wheels of steel]" vs the "wheels of plastic" tends to create more skilled DJs. The fact that DJs on the "Wheels of plastic hardly ever end up learning the art of Record control also means they usually don't learn the more advanced scratches and turntable techniques [associated] with Traditional Vinyl DJ Equipment. So the term also makes reference to the plastic / fake nature of the DJ using the wheels of plastic.

Most of the good DJs that actually do use Wheels of Plastic started by first learning traditional turntables and often have the skills [associated] with that learning. Many others don't and the term really is used more to describe a weak CD DJ and their choice of equipment.
