Title: FZR vs TZR Wheels.
Post by: SmokeAddicted on June 14, 2026, 03:52:38 PM
I need help identifying these wheels. Apparently TZR wheels and a few select models of FZR 250/400 look near identical. Maybe they are identical and I'm just spinning my wheels. No pun intended.

I dont have a rear hub, and I know TZR wheels will not work for my particular project. I just have no way of identifying what I have. Hopefully someone out there can confirm.

The TZR rear wheel does not use that type of cush-drive.

FZR.

TZR "spokes" are much narrower.

TZ spokes even more so.

If it has 3 bolts holding rear rotor it's a FZR400, if it has 6 bolts for rotor it's a FZR600

AFAIK, that is an 87 FZR400 rear wheel.  I have an almost identical 88 FZR400 wheel here that I was planning to use in an RD350 project.

Thanks gentlemen. I appreciate the confirmation. Based on these responses, it's an FZR 400 wheel. 3 bolt pattern for the rotor, tuning fork stamped (so not a GSXR), matching Cush drive bits, etc. 

So the final question is whether or not these wheels would be interchangeable to the FZR 600 wheels without different spacers.

If I remove a 600 wheel from any given bike, slap the 400 wheel on, am I good to go? I've been told yes, but I trust y'alls knowledge base more. Thanks again guys
