has anyone ever tried fitting a 5 spoke wheel set from a fireblade or something?
im not and have never been a fan of 3 spokes at all and i simply cant afford dymags.
spacers will be easier to make
any help would be awesome. thanks all
5 spoke wheel? direct replacements?

Pre vetec vfr800 front wheel will fit using standard storm setup also nc30 front,cbr f3 f4,older blade front but some was 16 inch + rear.Theres a few others but you need to swap bearings out and discs ect!!!

Yes and no the one that needs mods is the f4 the discs are different but you could use the discs off the f4 only if there the same size as the storm.
The cbr 900rr front and rear will bolt right on but the front is a 16 inch it will quicken steering up but you will loose a little stability, the blade wheels are 6 spoke but do look good.You could have the cbr 900 rear and a cbr 600 f3 front which is also a 6 spoke and will bolt right on without any mods so they match discs are the same as the storm just use the the storm spacers.
Early sp1 front will fit but you will need to swap out the internals because they use a bigger axle also 6 spoke, but sp1 wheels dont come cheap.
Nc30 front will bolt right up no probs also vfr800 front pre vtec.
imo the best would be a 900rr rear and f3 front no messing about unless you want to quicken steering up go for the 900rr front aswell, as said above.
Hope this helps any probs give us a shout.

ps heres a pic of one with 900 rear and sp1 front but imagine the front being an f3 its more or less the same

Got a Blade rear and 17" NC30 front on mine. Will post photo later.
The blade rears are fairly cheap and easy to come by however the 17" fronts get a little more pricey as a lot of the Blade owners snap them up.
Try the usual channels like Ebay, Cheshire motorcycle salvage, Ebley Honda in Stroud etc.

ZeroZero is right
Storm is a 5.5"rear. This does not affect tyre choice at all. NC30 front is same width as storms too.
The other good way of finding what wheels are compatible is to look at a catalogue like M&P's.
You can then cross reference the storms bearing and brake disc reference numbers to other compatible models.
