If anyone out there has a set of these wheels, or knows someone with a set, PLEASE READ!!

These wheels have been RECALLED! I just got a call this morning from the dealer I bought these wheels from back in 2010.

The Moto Metal Skull wheels in the 8 lug pattern are being recalled. They are cracking around the center hubs, and coming off the vehicle.

As far as I know this recall is only for the 8 lug wheels, in all diameters. This is all the info I have so far, I will be getting more info in the mail Monday.

Contact the manufacturer, or the store you bought them from to see if your wheels are part of the recall. As I understand it the recall will be allowing you to replace these wheels with your choice of any of their (Wheel Pros) current designs. But That is just the info I got via the phone call this morning. I am waiting for the official paperwork.

This has been happening for a few years now, I surprised the company finally admitted there's a problem.

So you were able to trade the Moto wheels for the Ansen Sprint from American Racing? I really like that vintage look. From what I have found it looks like they are 17 X 9 with a 4.5" back space... Would like to see a few pics when you can. Do they still have the dished look like the old 16.5 x 9.75 wheels had?

KevinI has the 5x4.5" version. I pick mine up tomorrow. WheelPros apparently owns both companies. I had Several wheels to choose from but 90% of them are for these punk kids running rubberbands. Mine are 17x9"
