moto metal rims

Been thinking and looking for a new set of rims. Think I want the moto metal rims, all black. But concerned on the weight rating.

I want to preserve my ability to carry up to 3,000 lbs in the bed of my truck. Right now I am running the contenential hwy slicks that Ford put on LT 275/70R18. Want to increase that a little too.

Anyone know about the moto's?

i have the moto 951's i think those are the ones you are talking about. they are great. i have had a pallet of arizona flagstone in the bed that weighed out to a little over 4,000lbs, and had no problems at all.

Yes the 951's in black is what I have been looking at. But when you got them did they say how much wt they could take? It is good to hear the 4, 000 lbs. What size tires are you running?

Take a look at this link
MO951 - Chrome It tells the capacity of the 951.
Hope it helps.

Thanks for the link, Love the looks of the rims, but guess I can't go with them and they are way unrated for the truck. Saw a couple that were rated for 3200 but most are 2200 lbs.

Talking

I have the moto metal 957 black machined, and they are pretty nice too.
