I like the way that wheel looks. I suppose it should be a flush fit with the 6th Gen since they are using the same swing arm. The only issue I see is the shaft driven part. Since I am no expert here what do you guys think? Easy to do or not worth the money to convert?

I think it also has five lug bolts. ;p
I thought too that the wheel will look great on the VFR, but they made it too different from our wheels that it seems like there's too much modification to be done to make it work out. I did hear from some VFRD that a 4 lug Honda Civic alloy wheel will work with the VFRs by just adding in a 1" spacer. There are a lot of aftermarket wheels made for the Honda Civic, so maybe that would be a better source for more interesting wheels.

Who's goofin' who?
6th Gen = 4 lug bolts.
DN-01 = 5 lug bolts.
Pretty straight forward to me once the obvious was pointed out. ;)

I guess I will just have to keep saving for these.

I saw one of these DN-01 heap of crap at the Honda tent at Phillip Island last weekend. Its one of the most ugly bikes I've ever seen. Honda must have spent a lot of money in developing such a steaming pile, no wonder they cant afford to make a new VFR...

They are worth it dude. Your VFR will feel (steer) like it's 300lbs. OK, maybe 375 put you'll get my point once you can get a ride on any bike with lighter wheels.

Does anyone have the Carrozzeria Vstar Single Sided Forged Wheels for the 6th Gen if so are there any pics?

The only ones posted here that I've seen are the same ones on their site if you haven't seen those.

It will happen...one of these days (months, years, decades, etc). ;)
