if you mean other zxr400 wheels, no ..

L wheels fit H's if you cut the spacer down, but H wheels in L's doesnt work.. the discs dont line up right.

the ZXR750 wheel "looks" the same, but the axel is biger so will prob need new bearings

i have looked at the zxr750 wheel, does look very similar
would put new bearings in it anyway, so as long as zxr400 and zxr750 bearings have the same external diameter i should be ok.
mm may buy 1 off ebay and have a play, there are plent of the 750 wheels about on there.
cheers

zzr wheels rings a bell... and the zzr4 is a zzr6 with a sleeved down motor, so would be the same. early zx6r might go..

F models of the zx6r fit as well i think you might have to replace the wheel bearings though. You just need to check the cast number on the wheel should be F-1286.

just got the zzr 600 wheel,

first impressions, looks like it will be relitvly easy to sort out,

change the bearings to zxr400 ones, and should be good to go.

got to make sure the zxr spacers are ok though, but they look VERY similar, so fingers crossed
