different wheels for SV1000

[derangedrover]

Can anyone point me in the right direction for finding info on what other brand bike wheels can be used on an SV1000. I believe a lot of the later GSXR's use the same wheels.
Mainly looking for an appearance change, prefer a multi spoke design, like the marchesinis on 999/749 duc's or the brembos on RSV's, but know nothing about hub widths, what rotors will work etc.
Anyone know a wrecker or someone who would be happy to measure up wheels, hub spacings etc for me?


EDIT: Gday all, awesome site. Been lurking here for a little while and thought I would see if all the knowledgeable and freindly members would be able to help me with my bike. Since I have no idea, and rarely engage in small talk (type?), I'll get straight to the point. Im a bit of a carbon fibre sticker squid boy newb and wanted some razzy wheels for my underpowered unpopular anemic scooter, but since I'm such a tight arsed, mechanically inept, freindless, helpless hopeless fool, I thought my first post should be a plea for help. Fortunately I didn't make my first post in the for sale section, otherwise I'm sure you would have all realised I really only signed up to this forum to suck as much out of it as I could and then fuck off....
I would have posted in the introduction section, but Im sure a couple of lines introducing myself, an individual of no particular import, and what I ride, a machine of no particular import, would have met with a resounding response of utter silence.
My apologies if I have offended.


Cheers
Daryl

I Like your moniker, a truer word was never invented!
As for the wheel swap, others may be along who know more on the subject shortly.

Lots of the other Suzuki's fit but they are all the same 3 spoke design.

I think Deranged should have done this...." Hello, what a great streetfighter site, i feel privilaged to be here, a little bit of help would be great...." Instead of the usual "i have no fuckin idea and cant be fucked saying hello CRAP"

Fuck, that's tellin' him Oz

Hey Daryl. Welcome aboard mate. Wheels aren't a cheap thing to replace no matter how you look at it. There are a lot of after market makes but they will cost you an arm and a leg. You know the sort of thing I mean:

If you have seen a set of production wheels from a bike on the market, which ones are you thinking of? Just about anything can be fitted but not many will be simple bolt in items. You'll need to consider spacers if the hub is smaller, or new triples if the hub is wider. Many variables mate. None of it will be a cheap event though.

Yeah welcome aboard Daryl. Im pretty sure you will find the info you are looking for on here. Cheers Shayne :D
PS: appoligies for being a bit of a prick at the start (The voices made me do it)

Thanks for the welcome!

Aftermarket wheels are a bit out of the budget.
Wheels I like are these off Ducati's

or these off R1/R6

Thought someone on here would have done a swap on a later GSXR that shares the same wheels.
I've just finished collecting all the bits to put an k4 GSXR 1000 front end on, so I dont really want to change triples, again....

Cheers

How about old Fireblade Fox eye wheels, or CBR6 they be 5 spokes and mucho cheapo ;)

[derangedrover]

Trying to keep the same sizes, 17 X 3.5 front and 17 X 5.5 rear. Would be interesting to see if a 17 x 6 would squeeze in the back.

The cbr6 are only a 4.5 rear aren't they?

What are the 'fox eye' wheels off?

Cheers
Daryl

I think the '98 model CBR600F wheel was the same as the 6 spoke 900 Fireblade rear wheel but it was 17inch as opposed to the 900's 16 inch, so you could make a set from the two kinds. Also I hear the VFR wheel is the same again.
