Koichi Sakamoto is the current stunt director of some episodes (corrected, thank you, I got it wrong) of Gokaiger, having produced Power Rangers up to RPM (stunt director starting from season 3). He said on his blog that there would be a PR reference in Episode 5. Fans believe this reference could be in that when the Gokaiger become Go-Onger, they use the wheel cuffs as weapons as the Go-Onger didn't use them as such. 
But in RPM, they did use the cuffs as weapons. Couldn't find a pic of it, but did find this one above of the colors running through their tire boot cuffs, which didn't happen in Go-Onger.UPDATED 3/25/11 10PM EST
I forgot to mention that when the Gokaiger became the Dekaranger, the manner that their helmets changed was a possible nod to SPD, because in the way it happened did not happen in Dekaranger but only in Power Ranegrs SPD.Episode 5 on YouTube:
