Part 1: The debate.
---------------------------------------------------------
Many people say that your item is chosen for you as soon as you hit the button: Of course it is. It's all luck and possibly timing. We'll see once we get enough information.
Many people say that your item is chosen before you even go to spin or hit the button: That's very possible, but we do not know for sure.
Here is the Quick-find Code to the Wheel's Jagex FAQ thread on RSOF regarding most questions involved: Quick find code: 15-16-565-63596265
Quote from that regarding spinning:

Am I missing out on getting the ultra rare prizes just because I lagged/ misclicked?
Jagex: Rest assured that you'll never lose out on a prize because you clicked at the wrong time or you experienced lag. The best way to maximise your chance to win is to use your available spins every day, so lady luck has as many chances as possible to shower you with favour.

This is semi-hard to interpret. Basically you can choose to read it as "Yes! Timing DOES factor into your reward!", but you can also understand that it may mean they actually are referring to whatever prize you were aiming for.
In all cases, it seems to me that this is pointing more to the side of timing being a large factor. Before we delve deeper into that,...
Part 2: The Information.
---------------------------------------------------------
As far as I can see, there are specific randomizers that activate, possibly even randomly (I haven't recorded enough or at all on some to definitively).
Here are some of the ones I noticed, though one or two may not exist because they could be 'lag' or some type of tech malfunction:
--After clicking, the wheel flashes off and on. { I do not know if this is my computer or what, so I need people to submit info on this so I know I'm not alone. }
--Wheel will sometimes spin, and then skip one to three slots (possibly more) to randomize better after clicking to stop. { Again, do not know definitively if this is a glitch occuring or not, or if it's visual. }
--Wheel spin will go past super-rare/rare/uncommon items faster than commons/uncommons/rares. { This is the most reliant and very possible scenario, I am almost 100% sure it happens. }
--As the wheel is spinning before you click to stop, you can sit there and watch it slow down and speed up over time.
--As the wheel is spinning before you click to stop, you can see it sometimes entirely skip over items.
--Every 6/8/10/11/13 rotations, the wheel flashes (and I believe resets) to a random reward point or something like that. Need to keep watching to find out what it does exactly, may be more rotations than those available for a "reset" or flash.
--The wheel possibly skips to the left 1-3 item slots every rotation. Exact amount and how often if not 100% chance of happening per spin are unknown at this time.
--I have consistently tried aiming perfectly for the best item on my wheel, and would end up with the worst reward possible. 8 times+ today, let alone total, have I done this. I will assume for now that I am making progress, and it's possible that I am either accidentally causing myself to get bad rewards, or if you try to get a good reward and are close, you will get a bad one instead. I also tried to change my timing a few times and ended up with the best uncommon rather than the worst reward possible. I will also state that I timed it 7 times in a row to hit item slot 10.
--Free-Play spins seem to rotate faster than Members spins. This would affect the outcome by making it much more difficult to hit super-rare, rare, and uncommon item slots if the wheel does indeed spin faster over them than more common item slots. This could just be visual to cause timing on Free-Play spins to be harder than Members.
I will update more as I see them or they are submitted enough.
------SIDE NOTES------
1): If you spin on a Free-Play account and get a Divine spirit shield (as an example), you do NOT have to immediately subscribe to claim it, and shouldn't discard the item if you plan on eventually claiming it. As far as I know, you may let a reward sit there and cannot spin again until it is discarded or claimed. So keep trying spins on your newbies or pures or whatever account, maybe you'll be enticed to pay for membership one day
.2): Something I completely overlooked but just saw based on screenshots. Item locations of rarity can change. If you look at my example of item slots #1-13 picture, item slot #3 is a rare item, but on my "Example of a good submission" post, you can clearly see a rare slot/Lucky Zamorak Godsword as item slot #2.
Part 3: Submitting information and data.
---------------------------------------------------------
Alright, here's the important stuff. I would like everyone and anyone to follow these guidelines and post some information regarding each spin, so we can define how likely it is to hit certain items, and to help with timing better.
There are always 13 slots for items, here is the layout of the items:
(#1-13, left to right in numerical order for the form)
Do NOT hesitate to post bad spins, ALL DATA IS HELPFUL.
Here's the submission form FOR EACH SPIN:
I know this is going to be difficult to be accurate on specifics of how your spins went, but just try to be precise as possible.
Describe what happened in your spin with: Flashes, jumps, slowing down or spinning over super-rare/rare/uncommon/common slots quickly, skipping over item slots as it was about to stop, etc.
State anything else that you saw might have or did happen.
Screenshots of rewards and your wheel before you stop the spin is VERY helpful. Not to mention good for bragging
..http://www.photobucket.com/ is a free-to-use website for uploading pictures (must sign up, can upload multiple pictures at once) in case you need a website. Please crop out everything but the Runescape screen. Use image tags or the image URL on your post.
Your data is almost completely null or invalid until it is repeatedly posted, possibly by numerous people in this topic before it's approved or assumed to be possible or true. This is to prevent liars, timewasters, trolling, etc.
Part 4: Rewards list.
---------------------------------------------------------
List of possible rewards in Alphabetical order:
WILL UPDATE THIS LATER ONCE WE GET A LIST GOING.
Part 5: Rates for items/item slot #'s.
---------------------------------------------------------
WILL UPDATE THIS LATER ON WHEN WE HAVE INFORMATION.
-----------------------UPDATES----------------------
There WILL be a tips/tricks part later on, once we see enough consistency in spins to say that X technique will help you land on X item(s).
I will edit rewards as they come to me/as I see them.
PLEASE post information you found on RSOF regarding possible rewards, or anywhere else, so I can get a reward list up and running faster.
Please post typos, corrections, etc, so I can fix the topic ASAP.
Please comment on my topic also, saying where it may need improvement and such, or what areas are great.
--------------------------------------------------------
So good luck on your spins, try to be accurate and honest as possible when submitting information. Just remember, this is a thread to help you win those super-rare unbuyables and the highest-value rewards (Divine/Elysian/10M gp cash, Huge Lamps, etc). Even bad spin data is helpful!

took that from the update thread on tif - didn't have a page reference. I'll have a look through the thread on the RS site now and try find it. Can't be that fair into it you'd think
