    I could not find anything specific for the 5th or 6th gen VFR on that website.

    I found out that BBS racing wheels has a modular design and you can order a center section in 4 X 100 (Honda bolt circle) and than pick the inner and outer rims to make up a VFR rear wheel. As far as the front, I have no idea.

    Maybe contact Chip Foose and have some custom wheels machined from billet to your specs. Should be trick, and $$$$.

    Nope, I going to stay with my nice OEM rim. I thought there might be some wheels that were about 600-800 shipped but to pay over 1K for a rim is a little crazy.

    My understanding is an F4i wheel will fit, so any aftermarket for the F4i will fit the 5th and 6th gen.

    An F4 wheel works as well, and you can use the VFR800 rotors. But you can't mix and match the rotors between F4 and F4i since the carrier bolt circle is a lot different. What you can do is put CBR929/954 and RC51 rotors on the F4i wheel, but I'm not sure why you would want to do that on a VFR800.

    One Frankenviffer owner on vfrD put Ducati 748/916/996/998 OEM rotors on a VFR800 front wheel for their RC51 front fork conversion.

    If you were doing a single-nut conversion on the back and you were going to retain the VFR's stock front end you could use a 3-spoke Ducati rear wheel with the F4 front wheel with VFR800 or F4 rotors as they look pretty closely matched.
