To convert the sentence from passive voice to active voice, it would need to specify who is performing the action of the inspections. In the given context, the passive construction "were also inspected" could be modified to an active voice sentence like "the inspectors tapped each wheel to listen for irregularities."

Therefore, the correct response to the question is:

It would specify who inspected the wheels.
