I think they are a cast alloy. This type of wheel is not as strong as heat treated, spun or rolled. I use OMF beadlocks but they are overkill for most riders. My truck did have cast wheels and I had a breakage problem in the dirt so I went to Center line which are spun and rolled and have not had one problem. I would talk to the manufacture and then decide if they have the strength that you need.

I found this info on them

At Motorsport Alloys we don't just build average wheels, its not that simple to us. We are true automotive/sport enthusiasts ourselves, each catering to a different marketplace and bringing in ideas from across the board to encompass a new outlook on what customization truly means in the ATV marketplace.
Each wheel is made from cast aluminum for uniform strength and look.
With a load rate of 400 lbs. these wheels can stand up to the tortures of the biggest atv's.
Only weighing in at an average of 10 lbs. these wheels will save weight and add great looks.

OK i am going add one more post then I am out and you can decide what will work for you. They are a cast wheel. Under harsh conditions IE rocks and sidewall impacts there is a good chance of them cracking or breaking. On their website they list these wheels for sport,utility and leasure no where do they say the rigors of racing. Good luck and remember usually you get what you pay for.

One of my buddies uses these for his sand tires and has had no problems with them.  But I would agree with what fire said, cast wheels won't handle abuse from rocks and will crack before they bend.
