Default Moto Metal 951's
Does anybody have any feedback about Moto Metal 951 wheels? I really like the look of the wheel, but I didn't know if anyone had some real world experience with them?

nice looking wheel, works well, most I've seen have take very little weight (although that depends on the tire) But EVERYBODY...I mean EVERYBODY has MotoMetal 951's

what do you mean by very little weight? would it be a bad wheel choice for towing a fifth wheel or goosneck?

What kind of weight are we talking here?

As far as I know these are cast type wheels and not as strong as forged wheels.

Hope this pic comes through. I don't plan on using the wheels to support a serious towing business, but I don't want them to fail on me later on.
