I'm really frustrated as to what the gold wheel (and stars) next to peoples names mean, and I'm also curious as to what other achievements there are, that I just haven't come across yet

I myself have a gold wheel

(I do know a white wheel means your using a Wii wheel)

You get a gold wheel when you use the Wii Wheel a lot.

You get stars for how well you do in a Grand Prix. For example, if you win every Grand Prix [50cc, 100cc, 150cc, Mirror] with two stars, you will get two stars next to your name online.

You MUST win every Grand Prix with a certain amount of stars to make them appear next to your name online.

The rankings go like this:

Hey dude,

The gold wheel I think symbolises that you use your wii wheel often.

The stars are indicators of completion of Grand Prixs in single player mode.

So for example if you have a 1 star ranking for all the cups you will have a star on your online profile and so forth.

Nope, might be getting a job soon. I just play soccer and go to school for now.

And no, you don't need 100% usage for the golden wheel. You just need to use it a lot.

Yeah I just realized now that the Wii Wheel is harder to use than the GC controller, especially if you're using bikes, because wheelies don't always work with the Wheel, and you can't stay straight.
