In the early 1970's, the Wheels of Soul was considered to be a social organization but it deteriorated to its current status of an outlaw club. At one time this group was active and maintained a clubhouse in the Atlantic City area. However, following raids by local authorities, the club dispersed and relocated in outlying areas of the county.

During its more active years in the late 1970's and 1980's, the Wheels of Soul had a combined membership of approximately 50, with chapters in Atlantic City, Atco, Freehold and a motor club in Philadelphia. However, in more recent years, the chapters have been reduced in this state to only one in South Jersey having about 10 members. Philadelphia continues to host the Mother Club, last reported to have approximately 50 members.

An offshoot of the Wheels of Soul, the Ghetto Riders was formed in the late 1970's and is headquartered in the City of Camden, where it maintains a clubhouse. Numbering approximately 30 members and 20 associates, the club operates primarily in the Camden County area.
