I found an ad on Kijiji for R6 parts and the seller listed everything as being from an '04-'07 R6, but that spans over 2 different generations.
Anyone know which gen this rim is from just by looking at it?

CAST WHEEL, REAR | LGB
2004 part # 5SL-25338-00-98
2005 part # 5SL-25338-00-98
2006 part # 5SL-25338-00-98
2007 part # 5SL-25338-00-98

The previous generation R6 continued as the R6"S" after the 2006 full-redesign was introduced.

Yamaha "5SL" is the previous model. I thought the first year of those was 2003, but could be wrong.
 
I'm not sure it affects front wheels but I think there were some upside down vs rightside up fork flip-flops within that generation.
 
05 was the change to usd forks. No change to the wheels.
 
This never crossed my mind but if you are looking for a second set with rain tires, the guy I bought my 04 off of has or had a set, I didn't want them and preferred the reduced price without. Maybe post on the SOAR facebook page and you could get a hit. I can only remember his name was Ryan. If that isn't what you are trying to do ignore this post.
 
I was looking for a second set, not necessarily for rains, but fresh rubber so I can do quick wheel changes at the track if needed. I ended up finding a set off an '04 for next to nothing so they should fit just fine.
Thanks for the input and help. GTAM has come through, yet again.
