I'm late to this discussion, but I wanted to point out that the 500 wheels match up with the NewGen wheels. The pivot point of the 500's swingarm is 7mm wider than the NewGen's, and the way the speedo drive and front wheel work together is slightly different. But overall, you can swap the front and rear wheels between the two without any real issues, just a couple other little OEM parts. Myself and at least one other guy have the NewGen Vrossi wheels on our 500s.
