Default Wheel swap questions?

Has anyone ever explored swapping cbr600f2 wheels.It has speedo drive on the front wheel and looks like the rotor mounts are the exact same so I can us the stock rotors.The rear is 4.5 inch but that at least gets better rubber on my old girl. She handles good with the stock wheels but would be nicer to have some more tire choices.
I live 18miles from deals gap and made three runs today.These old hurricanes do fine, I catch up and pass tourist riders on much newer hardware.

Thanks for your help.

I'd worry about chain alignment. If the other wheel is quite a bit wider than your original, you would need to put a spacer under your drive sprocket or find a way to cut down the sprocket mount on the rear wheel. If the 2 sprockets are not in a straight line, you will wear out your sprockets and chain in a couple of months.
