Are RC51 wheels direct replacement on Hawk?

Don't mean to ask a dumb question. Just wondering if the RC51 6 spoke wheels would be direct fits on a 98 Hawk? Like the 6 spoke look but do not want to do a bunch of modifications to get them to work. If any mods are required LMK . Any help would be greatly appreciated

SlowHAWK is an unknown quantity at this point
No... the bearings and brakes are different.

Do a search, you'll find 6-spoke compatible wheels as this has been discussed alot... not sure if they were F4i or another CBR that you can use.

Thanks for the quick reply. I appreciate it, I will search for wheel option threads.

94-present VFR fronts (can use vtr rotors) and cbr900 (not 929/954) rears bolt right on.

Last week I bought a rear wheel off a 1998 CBR900RR. It came with spacers and all--bolted right on like the stock wheel. Now the search is on for a front rim. I plan on getting one off a CBR600 F3, but they seem to be a bit on the expensive side. I just lost an ebay auction for a front rim that had tons of chips, scrapes and scratches in the paint and had no rotors or tire--it went for about $150.00. I bought my rear off ebay for $200.00 with a near new tire, smooth bearings, brake disc and sprocket/carrier. The paint is nearly perfect too. When you see how good a 6-spoke wheel looks and you're able to get some or most of your $$$ back from selling your old wheels, you'll be very happy with the mod!

I was watching that ebay for the front wheel and it did go high IMO for a wheel in that condition.

Direct Replacements are:

Front - 1995-98 CBR600F3
Rear - 1993+ CBR900RR

As suggested, there may be other but these wheels match each other and are 100% direct replacements for the stock VTR wheels.

Fronts are more susceptible to damage than rears hence bigger demand.
