On the WGET command line add the following switch parameter after Tor has 
been loaded.

--execute=http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8118/

The other way is via the WGETRC configuration file by adding the following 
directives

http_proxy=http://127.0.0.1:8118
use_proxy = on

or to disable
use_proxy = off

Personally, I prefer to include the command line switch.
