Hi,

I was able to do it using /tikz/after node path.  But it's dirty.

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage[paperheight=160cm, paperwidth=15cm, margin=2cm]{geometry}
\usepackage{tikz}
\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}[
       test/.style 2 args={
               circle,
               draw,
               minimum size=#1,
               name=ThisNode,
               after node path={
                       (\tikzlastnode)
                       ++ (#2 : #1 / 2 + .5cm)
                       node [
                               draw,
                               anchor=west,
                               rotate=#2
                       ] {bla}
                       edge (ThisNode)
               },
       },
]

\foreach \i in {0, ..., 24} {
       \node[test={1cm}{\i * 15}] at (0, \i * -6cm) {};
       \node[test={5cm}{\i * 15}] at (0, \i * -6cm) {\i};
}

\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}

Hope it can help.
