Hi! this is the list of changes I made to your code to adapt it for my needs, 
with comments, you might be insterested to see them:

In main class I changed the shadow color to white (absolutely optional), added 
programmatical generation of gradients instead of resource one - the case is, 
jar does not contain those resources so the project is unusable unless you do 
that directly importing the code. Click listeners will notify the selected item 
click as well - I needed universal behaviour, and you can check in the listener 
if it's the selected item and skip it, if you want

The method getItemText has been made public, since some users might want to 
implement the same behaviour for different wheels and might need the contained 
strings for display in the list or wherever they want. This allows us to cast 
the similar wheel adapters to abstract and use the strings
