Anybody know if an 06 gsxr 100 wheel will fit my 06 gsxr 750? Looking to get extra wheels so I can have separate sets for track and for street.

Yes the 1000s have a 6in rim vs a 600s 5.5 so they can run 190s properly. The 1000s only have the 190 becuase they have the power to break them loose. 180s are better they seem to "drop in" easier. And 190s are around $50 more expensive and you could use that money plus the $80 to buy a 600 rim lol.

And yes they should line up, I believe theyre pretty universal fittings

I may be trying this out soon just to see if it works. I currently have a 2005 GSXR-1000 that I use for trackdays. I have the stock rims as well as a set of 17in Marchesini magnesium rims with Dunlop NTEC slicks on them.

This weekend I'll be picking up a K6/7 GSXR-600 that I'll be using for CCS racing as well as trackdays. I know that the 1000's front rim will swap just fine but I'm gonna see if the rear works as well. The 195/65 NTEC slick is quite tall and rounded so even though it's a wider rim the profile is quite steep. Plus it's magnesium, so the rim is lighter than the stock 600 aluminum rims. It's not so much that I NEED to do it, but I am interested to try, especially if I try competing in Middleweight SBK which allows for aftermarket wheels and slicks.

If I'm reading what RadicalNH posted up there correctly, as long as I have a 1000 wheel with 1000 spacers then it will fit in the 600 swingarm properly???

A 1K swingarm is what it would take basically. I'm not sure where RadicalNH got his information/speculation but a 1K rim will NOT fit in a K6/K7 600/750 swingarm. And it has nothing to do with any sort of spacer issue. even if you take the spacers out and throw a tape measure through the center hub of both rims you will see that the 1K rim is too wide at the hub to fit into the 600/750 swingarm.

It MIGHT work on earlier year 600/750's, but I haven't been able to check that.
