3D Design Type 3 Forged Wheels

3D Design Type 3 — Ultralight 1-Piece Forged Monoblock Wheels from Japan

The 3D Design Type 3 (T3F — Type 3 Forged) is a 1-piece forged monoblock aluminum wheel engineered by 3D Design Corporation Japan, delivering a rare combination of ultralight construction and precision BMW-specific fitment. Tipping the scales at just 19 lbs (8.6 kg) in 9.5×19 specification, the Type 3 is one of the lightest performance wheels available for BMW platforms — reducing unsprung and rotational mass for measurably faster acceleration, shorter stopping distances, and sharper cornering response. Sold exclusively through 3D Design Japan, the Type 3 is available in 18", 19", 20", 21", 22", 23", and 24" diameters across multiple finishes, backed by the full engineering and fitment expertise of 3D Design Corporation.

Other Bolt Patterns Available

The 3D Design Type 3 is available in both 5×120 (standard BMW fitment) and 5×112 (applicable to BMW M3 E46, select F- and G-series). The 5×112 pattern expands Type 3 compatibility to additional BMW platforms including the E46 M3, select E9x, and various F-series vehicles that specify 5×112. Brushed and Matte Gunmetal finishes are exclusive to PCD112 in certain size configurations.

• 5×120: Standard fitment — Bi color, Matte Black, Gloss Black (19" and 20")
• 5×112: Alternative fitment — Bi color, Matte Black, Gloss Black, Brushed (20"); Matte Gunmetal (19")

For PCD112 sizing confirmation and availability, contact us at [email protected] with your chassis code.

How the 3D Design Type 3 Compares to the Full 3D Design Lineup

The Type 3 is the core performance wheel in the 3D Design lineup — the only 1-piece monoblock forging offered in a full range of diameters and finishes for both PCD120 and PCD112 BMW applications. Its single-piece construction eliminates the assembly tolerances of multi-piece designs, delivering maximum rigidity and consistency across the set.

• 3D Design Type 3 (T3F) Wheels — Ultralight 1-piece forged monoblock, 18"–24", widest BMW compatibility
• 3D Design Brombacher Wheels — Classic 3-piece forged, 19"–20", BMW-exclusive reverse-import heritage wheel

All 3D Design wheels are developed specifically for BMW vehicles and distributed exclusively through 3D Design Corporation Japan, ensuring precisely engineered fitment, dedicated BMW technical support, and genuine Japanese-origin certification for every set.

Custom Forged — Build Your Perfect Type 3

One of the defining advantages of the 3D Design Type 3 is its bespoke offset availability. Unlike catalog wheels limited to a fixed set of offsets, the Type 3 can be ordered in custom inset configurations within the manufacturable range for each size — allowing you to dial in your stance without relying on spacers. This is particularly valuable for staggered setups on M-series BMWs where front and rear offset requirements differ significantly.

• Custom offsets: Orderable within the manufacturable range per size (see sizing tables above)
• Staggered sets: Front/rear width and offset combination confirmed per chassis — contact us for M-series staggered specifications
• Spacer option: 3D Design aluminum spacers (8–15 mm, proprietary design) available if additional offset adjustment is needed after delivery
• Lead time: Custom-offset forged orders are built to order in Japan. Contact Hodoor World for current production lead times.

To start a custom forged order: email [email protected] with your BMW chassis, preferred size/offset, finish, and quantity. We will respond within 24 hours with a confirmed fitment recommendation and pricing guidance.

How to Order Your 3D Design Type 3 Wheels

1. Confirm your BMW chassis: Use the Vehicle Fitment Guide above to identify your model (e.g. G80, F80, E92). Note whether your vehicle uses PCD120 or PCD112.
2. Choose diameter and finish: Select from 18"–24" and your preferred finish (Bi color, Matte Black, Gloss Black, Brushed, or Matte Gunmetal — availability varies by size and PCD).
3. Contact Hodoor World: Email [email protected] with your chassis code, preferred size, finish, offset range, and quantity.
4. Fitment confirmation: Our BMW specialists confirm offset compatibility, brake caliper clearance, and spacer requirements within 24 hours.
5. Receive and install: Wheels ship from Japan. International delivery is available worldwide. Each wheel includes one center emblem and one air valve stem.

Note: Wheel bolts are not included. BMW OEM specification bolts are required. If spacers are used, long bolts (approximately ¥700/pc ex-tax) are also required and available through 3D Design Japan.

3D Design Type 3 — Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What makes the Type 3 a 1-piece forged wheel? What does monoblock mean?
A: Monoblock (1-piece forged) means the entire wheel — face, spokes, and barrel — is machined from a single billet aluminum forging. There are no bolted or riveted junctions between disc and rim as in 2-piece or 3-piece designs. This produces a wheel that is simultaneously stiffer, lighter, and more dimensionally consistent. The 3D Design Type 3 weighs as little as 19 lbs at 9.5×19 — a benchmark figure for the forged performance wheel segment.

Q: Is the Type 3 compatible with my BMW's TPMS sensors?
A: Yes, the Type 3 is BMW TPMS sensor compatible. However, if your factory wheels have internal TPMS sensors mounted to the wheel barrel, these may require relocation to valve stem-style sensors for the new wheels. Confirm at time of order and we will advise on sensor requirements for your specific chassis.

Q: Can I fit the Type 3 with 5×112 PCD on an E46 M3?
A: Yes. The Type 3 is available in PCD112 in several size and finish configurations (Matte Gunmetal 19"×8.0J+50, and various 20" widths in Bi color, Matte Black, Gloss Black, and Brushed). The E46 M3 uses 5×112, 66.6 mm hub bore — confirm the exact offset and hub ring specification when ordering.

Q: Do I need spacers to fit the Type 3?
A: For most standard BMW fitments, spacers are not required — the Type 3 is available in the offsets 3D Design has confirmed for each chassis. However, 3D Design aluminum spacers (8–15 mm) are available if you want to push the wheel further outward for a more aggressive stance. Long bolts (¥700/pc) are required when spacers are used.

Q: What is the delivery time from Japan?
A: Stocked sizes and finishes typically ship within 1–2 weeks from Japan. Custom-offset orders are built to order and have a longer lead time — contact Hodoor World for current production schedules. International delivery (EU, USA, Middle East, Asia) takes 2–4 weeks from ship date depending on destination and customs clearance.

Wheel Care & Maintenance

• Cleaning: Use a pH-neutral wheel cleaner and a soft microfiber brush or cloth. Never use abrasive pads, wire brushes, or acid-based wheel cleaners — these permanently damage all Type 3 finishes.
• Bi Color care: The silver spoke surface can be polished with a safe aluminum polish to maintain shine. The polished rim lip should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cloth and protected with a spray wax or quick detailer after washing.
• Matte Black care: Never apply standard wax, polish, or gloss sealant to Matte Black wheels — use only dedicated matte-finish products specifically formulated for flat paint surfaces.
• Brushed finish care: Brushed aluminum should be cleaned with a non-abrasive cloth and a pH-neutral solution. Avoid steel wool or aggressive pads that will scratch the directional brush pattern. An aluminum protectant spray (non-abrasive) helps maintain the finish long-term.
• Brake dust: Remove brake dust frequently. Brake deposits are chemically aggressive and will bond to wheel surfaces — especially on polished and brushed finishes — if left unwashed. Iron decontaminant spray is safe on all Type 3 finishes when used per manufacturer instructions.
• Torque: Torque wheel bolts to BMW OEM specification (typically 120 Nm for 5×120 applications). Re-torque after 50–100 km following any wheel change or seasonal swap.
• Winter use: Rinse wheels thoroughly after every drive on salt-treated roads. Road salt accelerates corrosion on aluminum surfaces and can permanently stain polished finishes if left unwashed. Apply a protective spray wax to Bi Color and Brushed finishes before the winter season begins.
