Moto Metal Wheel Center Cap Buying Guide

Moto Metal is one of the most recognizable names in aggressive off-road wheel styling. Known for their bold, high-contrast designs, Moto Metal wheels are a popular choice for trucks and SUVs — but finding the right replacement center cap can be tricky if you don't know what to look for. This guide covers everything you need.

Why Your Moto Metal Center Cap Matters

Beyond aesthetics, center caps seal the center bore of your wheel, keeping out mud, water, and road debris. On off-road builds — exactly the use case Moto Metal is designed for — a missing cap can accelerate hub corrosion and bearing wear.

Moto Metal Series & Cap Compatibility

Moto Metal caps are model-specific, meaning a cap from one wheel series won't necessarily fit another. Key series to know:

  • MO970 / MO962 / MO951 — Classic Moto Metal off-road designs. Caps are typically identified by a part number starting with "353K" (e.g., 353K83, 353K133H).
  • MO793 Series — Features the M793BK01 gloss black cap, a popular replacement.
  • MO947 Chrome Series — Chrome-finish caps (e.g., M947Ch) for a more polished look on off-road builds.

Pro tip: The part number is molded into the back of most Moto Metal caps. Check there first before measuring.

How to Identify the Right Moto Metal Cap

  1. Find your wheel model number — It's usually stamped on the back of the wheel spoke or barrel.
  2. Match the part number — Cross-reference your wheel model with the cap part number on the Moto Metal website or your original purchase receipt.
  3. Measure the bore — Common Moto Metal bore sizes are 83mm and 133mm. Use a caliper for accuracy.
  4. Match the finish — Moto Metal caps come in gloss black, matte black, and chrome. Getting the finish wrong is the most common mistake.

Snap-In vs. Bolt-On Moto Metal Caps

Most Moto Metal caps use a snap-in design — they press into the center bore and are held by a retention ring. A few heavier-duty models use a bolt-on design with screws. Check your wheel's center bore for threaded holes if you're unsure which type you need.
