The standard wheels fitted to Tour, Sport and Traveller models are 17” x 3” front and 17” x 4” rear, manufactured by Grimeca. These wheels are also fitted to the CCM R30 as an option.
The Replica has a 17” x 3.5” front and a 17” x 5” rear.
Wheel bearings:
Tour, Sport and Traveller. Front : 2 off 6004-2RS, Rear: 2 off 6203-2RS, plus 6204-2RS within sprocket carrier.
Replica. Front: 2 off 6204-2RS. Rear: 2 off 6303-2RS, plus 6304-2RS within sprocket carrier
Options: As the Skorpion wheels are fitted to the CCM R30 it could be possible to fit spoked wheels from a CCM to a Skorpion. Some racers have fitted wheels from a Yamaha TZR 125/250 race bike, and in theory wheels from an Aprilia 250, Suzuki RGV 250, Bandit 600, and GSX-F 600; Laverda 650/668/750; and Ducati Monster, can be made to fit. This info is from a German website so I can’t verify it.
SZR/TZR 4DL Brembo 3,00-17 = 9,2 kg
FZR Brembo 3,5-17 = 10,6 kg
PVM 3-spoke Alu 3,5-17 = 11,4 kg
Marvic 3-spoke Magnesium = 8,8 kg
Grimeca 3,00-17 = 11,5kg

TZR 4DL Brembo 3,5-17 = 11,8 kg
SZR 4SU Brembo 4,00- 17 = 13,6 kg
TZR 3MA Brembo 4,5-17 = 12,2 kg
PVM 3-spoke Alu 4,5-17 = 15,8 kg
Grimeca 4.0/17 Alu = 17,4 kg
Good luck if you're going to try other wheels, as I can’t imagine any of the above bolting straight in, so expect to have to make up spacers and have all sorts of problems with disc and chain alignment.

This list isn’t exhaustive and there are other types of tyres available. Reviews of tyres used, wear rate, level of grip, etc, always welcome.
When choosing tyres, please note that non-ZR tyres can legally be repaired once, as long as the puncture hasn’t compromised the integrity of the tyre, but repairs to ZR tyres is forbidden.
