Not sure if you found your answer in your other thread, but just in case..

They are different. The aero should have a 10x1.5 non-tubeless wheel. The met has a 10x2.15 tubeless wheel.
Good news is that the met wheel fits on the aero with a 90/90 tire. Wheelman mentioned possible rubbing on the center stand, but I didn't run into that issue on my 85 nb50.

I am tracking that the metro is designed for tubeless. Which is why the metro wheel is popular to switch to for cooler tire options.
