    did a search and found a bunch of info on rear wheels for various VFR years. But anyone know if the 90-93 front wheel fits on the 6th gen VFRs?

    I'm trying to find info on this rear wheel? Will the 8 spoke wheel fit an '07 VFR? Just like the look over the 5 spoke... that or that dude up from Alaska with the new chrome wheel set looks so sweet!

    yes, it will fit. just so happens there is an 8 spoke on ebay right now. 8 spoke vfr rims are out there in a wide (5.5") and narrow (5") variety. The one on ebay right now is of the wide flavor.

    The gen3 front wheel is not going to be a direct replacement for a gen six, anything can be made to fit but this would be too much trouble.

    Agreed, may just be a Gen6 set of wheel bearings in the 3rd gen wheel and youre in business. I'm guessing the axle size is differnt.

    Nothing special is needed other than the 8-spoke wheel from a 3rd gen viffer. It bolts right up. Just make sure that when you find the rim that it is in fact a 5.5" and not a 5.0.
