History, reputation and uses

Moto Metal was founded in 2002 in Colorado, under the umbrella of Wheel Pros, a wheel distributor and designer established in Denver since 1995. From the outset the brand embraced a rebellious spirit inspired by the motocross and off-road scene of Southern California, with a deliberately edgy visual identity that set it apart from mainstream styling. It is part of a portfolio of brands that includes American Racing, KMC, Fuel Off-Road and Black Rhino. In October 2023, Wheel Pros rebranded itself as Hoonigan, which remains today the group that owns Moto Metal. The lineup specifically targets full-size trucks, HD diesel trucks (3/4 and 1 ton), Jeeps and SUVs, with a strong presence in 6- and 8-lug configurations (for example 6x135, 6x139.7, 8x165.1, 8x170). Diameters range from 16 to 24 inches, with widths up to 14 inches and offsets that are often negative (down to -76 mm) for an aggressive, fender-filling look. On the manufacturing side, Moto Metal relies on gravity casting of aluminum: the molten alloy is poured into a mold and gravity fills the cavity. This method favors cost and durability over light weight, so the wheels are relatively heavy (on the order of 23 to 52 lb depending on diameter), which suits the intended size class and load capacity (often 2,500 to 3,640 lb per wheel). Several models use a faux-beadlock aesthetic and machined accents to make the spokes stand out. The products are covered by a limited lifetime structural warranty and a one-year warranty on the finish. Moto Metal's reputation rests on solid value, distinctive styling and broad truck fitment availability, rather than on cutting-edge technical performance.

Recommended use: Moto Metal is aimed first and foremost at full-size trucks, HD diesel trucks (Ram 2500/3500, Silverado/Sierra 2500/3500, Ford F-250/F-350), Jeeps and SUVs. It is a purely aftermarket brand (replacement for the OE wheel), not original equipment. The 8-lug models with a faux-beadlock effect suit work and recreational trucks that drive mostly on the road and on gravel roads, with light to moderate off-road use. The negative offsets and generous widths aim for a fender-filling look; check brake clearance, fender clearance and load rating before buying. TPMS sensors and load certification should be validated according to the vehicle.

Technologies and manufacturing: Moto Metal wheels are manufactured by gravity casting of aluminum alloy, in one-piece monoblock construction. The molten metal is poured into a mold and gravity fills the cavity, an economical process that favors durability and load capacity at the expense of light weight. These are therefore neither flow-formed nor forged wheels: they are heavier than a comparable forged wheel. Several finishes are offered (gloss black, machined black, chrome) with machined accents and faux-beadlock patterns. The brand advertises a high load capacity suited to HD trucks, along with a limited lifetime structural warranty plus one year on the finish. No JWL/VIA/TÜV certification is highlighted.

Key takeaways

  • Fort positionnement truck show/off-road.
  • Bon choix pour F-150, Silverado, Ram, Jeep, Tacoma.

Strengths

  • Attractive value for boldly styled truck wheels
  • Very wide selection of 6- and 8-lug fitments for HD diesel trucks
  • High load capacity suited to work and HD trucks
  • Limited lifetime structural warranty on the wheel
  • Broad availability at North American retailers, including in Quebec

Points to check

  • Cast wheels that are fairly heavy (no flow-forming or forging)
  • Finish warranty limited to one year: chrome and machining suffer from winter salt and calcium
  • Often very negative offsets: check brake clearance, fender clearance and mechanical constraints
  • Strongly truck/off-road styling, poorly suited to passenger cars
  • No JWL/VIA/TÜV certification highlighted

Moto Metal wheel models

Filtered catalogue
MO804 beadlock

The MO804, named Spider, takes the eight split-spoke design of the MO970 and adds a more modern concave profile. Each spoke features a top-layered construction that gives the spokes the illusion of spider legs, accentuated by a concave center cap that highlights the curvature of the spokes; the split spokes with their wide window create depth. It's a cast aluminum wheel, one-piece construction, offered in gloss black and gloss black with milled face. Available in several sizes for trucks, Jeeps, and SUVs, it targets enthusiasts who want a contemporary, detailed style without the cost of a forged wheel. Limited lifetime structural warranty and one-year warranty on the milled finish. In Quebec, the solid gloss black version is more tolerant of winter salt than the milled face, which requires more diligent maintenance; verify offset, brake clearance, and fender fitment according to the vehicle.

MO951 off-road

The MO951 is a cast aluminum wheel for 8-lug diesel trucks, presented in a gloss black finish enhanced with steel-colored milled accents. Its rugged, functional style targets HD trucks (F-250/F-350, Silverado/Sierra 2500/3500, Ram 2500/3500) rather than passenger cars. Offered in typical truck sizes (for example 18x9 with slightly negative offsets), it combines strength and an assertive look at an accessible price. Like the rest of the lineup, it benefits from Moto Metal's limited lifetime structural warranty. It's a practical option for a work truck used on the road and on light off-road terrain. In Quebec, the black/milled contrast remains vulnerable to salt and calcium: regular winter cleaning, or even a dedicated set of winter wheels, prolongs the appearance of the finish. Verify the exact 8-lug bolt pattern (8x165.1 or 8x170) and brake clearance before purchase.

MO962 beadlock

The MO962 is a gravity-cast wheel designed primarily for 8-lug diesel trucks (Silverado/Sierra 2500/3500, Ram 2500, F-250/F-350). Its eight smooth-spoke design stands out with milled accents that highlight the split section of the spokes along a faux beadlock. It comes in large, aggressive sizes like 18x10, 20x10, and 22x14, often with negative offsets (down to -76 mm) for a look that sits well out of the fenders. Finishes are offered in chrome or gloss black milled. The wheel uses rugged cast aluminum, with a limited lifetime structural warranty and a one-year finish warranty. It's a go-to model for HD work truck owners who want an imposing stance. In Quebec, the chrome version is attractive but sensitive to salt; the milled black version generally ages better in winter conditions, and you should verify brake clearance and load rating.

MO970 camion/VUS

The MO970 is one of Moto Metal's most popular models: a one-piece cast aluminum wheel with an eight split-spoke design and a faux beadlock ring that accents the rim's edge. Offered in a wide range of diameters (16, 17, 18, 20, and 24 inches), widths (8 to 14 inches), and offsets from very negative (-76 mm) to slightly positive (+18 mm), it covers many bolt patterns: 5x127/5x139.7, 6x120/6x139.7, 6x135/6x139.7, and 8x170. Common finishes include gloss black with spot-milled lip or milled face. Its load capacity (up to about 3640 lb) and weight (23 to 52 lb depending on diameter) make it suited to full-size and HD trucks, notably recent Ford F-150s. In Quebec, it's a widespread choice for giving a truck character on the road and on gravel paths; the milled finish requires regular winter maintenance against salt and calcium.

MO986 camion/VUS

The MO986, named Siege, is a one-piece cast wheel with an eight split-spoke mesh design, giving a dense, structured appearance. It comes in 20, 22, and 24 inches, with widths of 9, 10, 12, and 14 inches, and covers common truck and SUV bolt patterns like 5x139.7/5x150, 6x135/6x139.7, and 8-lug configurations. Finishes include gloss black milled and chrome. Designed for full-size trucks, SUVs, and certain Jeeps, it adapts to both road use and light off-road depending on the chosen offset (often negative for an aggressive look). It's a model appreciated for its enveloping style and reasonable price. In Quebec, plan on careful maintenance of the milled or chrome finish in winter; verify brake caliper clearance and load rating, especially on the wide versions intended for HD trucks.

MO992 off-road

The MO992, named Folsom, is a one-piece cast wheel with a split 6-spoke deep-lip design, recognizable by its six split spokes that plunge toward a pronounced lip. It comes in 20, 22, and 24 inches, with widths of 9, 10, 12, and 14 inches, and offsets that are often negative for a look that sits out of the fenders. Finishes are offered in chrome and gloss black milled. Designed for full-size trucks, SUVs, and certain Jeeps, it suits mostly on-road use with light off-road. Its deep-lip style gives it a strong presence at an accessible price. In Quebec, the chrome version is elegant but sensitive to salt and calcium; the milled black holds up better in winter. As always, verify the exact bolt pattern, brake clearance, offset, and load rating before mounting these large-diameter wheels.
