2008 busa wheel question

[busaziggy]

I bought a set of wheels for my 2008 from EBay. How do I tell if they are from a Gen2 bike or from a Gen 1 bike. Thanks, Ziggy

Easiest way for me at a glance is the spokes,Gen I are more round whereas Gen II are kind of flat on the sides with a triangular shaped hole where the spokes join the rim.

Gen1 straight fat spoke. Gen2 smaller curved spoke. The best way post pics on here. We can tell you real fast.

Thanks to everyone. Looks like I got the real deal Gen2 wheels. Wanted to double check before mounting brake rotors and new tires.
