I HAVE THE MOTO METAL 6 LUG BONES WHEELS ON THIS TRUCK AND THEY ARE CRACKING JUST LIKE THE 8 LUG WHEELS OF THIS SAME TYPE. MOTO METAL WILL NOT REPLACE ALL OF THE WHEELS AND THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM. THEY RECALLED THE 8 LUGS BUT WILL NOT RECALL THE 6 LUG. IF ITS THE SAME ISSUE OF BREAKING THEN WHAT SHOULD IT MATTER IF THEY ARE 6 OR 8 LUG.
