Nope, no way they will fit. Just about everything is different except they are both round...

If the wheels are breaking on a bike that weighs 424lbs wet... whats gonna happen when you mount them on a 550lb tank???

The problem was the front wheel only and it was a manufacturing defect only a certain number of wheels. I dont think it was a basic design flaw...

the problem with putting the ZX10 Wheel on a ZX12 In my opinion isnt getting them to fit, hell like was said earlier any thing can be made to fit given enough cash. But the structural integrity woudl be seriously compromised by the additional weight of the ZX12....and with the money you would have to put out to get them to fit, you could by a set of aftermarket wheels for the 12 that were probably lighter and stronger.....JMO

I'd think that by the time it's all said and done, you'd have spent enough money on buying 10R rims and getting them to fit... that you could have bought even lighter wheels designed to bolt right to the 12R, and handle the weight.
