They are not really the same. The TZ250 was a racing version and I've heard bad things about hitting pot holes with those rims. The TZR250 was the road version. Look for a stamp on the rim stating either DOT or the European equivalent. If it has one of those stamps, then it is road worthy. If not, you shouldn't use it.
Yes, that is a Single Sided Swingarm FZR600 that I built.

Something is lurking, waiting, wanting to be built......It calls to me from the darkness....

I can finally see the light at the end of the tunnel....Then I realize that it is the train coming to run my ass over....
