3SDM 3.01 FX3 3-Piece Forged Wheels

3SDM 3.01 FX3 Series — 3-Piece Forged Perfection, Engineered in the UK

The 3SDM 3.01 FX3 is a premium 3-piece forged wheel built entirely to order in England using aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium. Part of the FX3 Series — 3SDM's most brake-clearance-focused 3-piece construction — the 3.01 FX3 combines a face-mounted spoke assembly, deep Euro step lip barrel, and an extended inner cavity designed to accommodate large-diameter brake rotors and multi-piston calipers without compromise. The 3.01 spoke design itself features sharp, angular shoulders with a refined central hub section, delivering a premium visual depth from both the front and the rear. Every wheel is individually specified by the customer and manufactured in the UK with a 30–60 day lead time. No two wheels are ever exactly alike — diameter, width, profile, PCD, offset, hardware finish, and spoke face colour are all selected by you at the time of order.

Available Sizes

The 3SDM 3.01 FX3 is available in the following standard configurations. Non-standard sizes — including 23" and 24" diameters, ultra-wide barrels beyond 14.5J, and negative offsets — can be specified on a bespoke basis.

• Diameters: 15" | 16" | 17" | 18" | 19" | 20" | 22"
• Widths: 5.0J to 14.5J
• Profiles: Flat / Concave / X-Concave
• PCD: Fully customisable — any bolt pattern from 3×98 to 6×139.7
• Offset: Custom to specification (positive, zero, or negative)
• Centre Bore: Machined to your vehicle's hub diameter
• Front Lip: Euro step lip as standard
• Hardware: Chrome / Black / Gold / Neo Chrome; Titanium upgrade available
• Lead Time: 30–60 days from order confirmation and deposit

Need a Different Size?

3SDM's UK manufacturing facility routinely produces wheels outside the standard catalogue. Need a 23" or 24" forged option? An ultra-wide 15J or 16J rear barrel for a widebody build? A skinny 5J front for a track car? An unusual bolt pattern for a classic car restoration? Contact the Hodoor World team at [email protected] and we will liaise directly with 3SDM to get your exact specification quoted and confirmed. No size is too extreme — 3SDM has previously cut wheels from 200 kg sections of 6082-T6 solid bar to achieve impossible specifications. We also offer an AI Wheel Design Service if you want a fully custom spoke configuration developed from scratch.

FX3 Series — Construction & Engineering Detail

The FX3 is the most brake-clearance-optimised variant in the 3SDM 3-piece forged range. Its defining engineering choice is the face-mount spoke assembly: the machined spoke face attaches to the front face of the outer barrel, creating an extended inner cavity between the rear of the spokes and the inner lip of the wheel. This additional clearance is critical for enthusiast and motorsport builds running large-diameter rotors (355 mm+) with multi-piston calipers from brands like Brembo, AP Racing, or Alcon.

The FX3 construction sits above the FR (sandwich-mount, full step lip) and the FX2 (face mount, extended outward spoke) in 3SDM's hierarchy of brake clearance. All three variants share the 3.01 multi-spoke pattern — angular spoke shoulders and a refined central disc — but the FX3 allows the deepest concave profiles and widest overall barrel sections for the same outer diameter. For builds where millimetres of caliper clearance matter, the FX3 is the correct choice.

3SDM engineers validate every new FX3 configuration using proprietary Finite Element Analysis (FEA) loading scenarios that simulate wheel strength and fatigue life under road and track conditions. Certification packages including JWL VIA, ISO, and TÜV can be specified at the time of order.

Hardware & Finish Options

Every 3SDM 3.01 FX3 is assembled using stainless steel bolts joining the spoke face to the barrel sections. Hardware colour is selected at order stage from four standard options: Chrome, Satin Black, Gold, and Neo Chrome. For the ultimate in corrosion resistance and weight reduction, a Titanium hardware upgrade is available — titanium assembly bolts reduce rotating mass at the wheel perimeter where unsprung weight has the greatest dynamic effect.

Spoke face and barrel finishes are fully bespoke. There is no colour catalogue limitation — 3SDM's in-house finishing facility handles Silver Machine, Gloss Black, Gloss Black with Polished Lip, custom powder coat in any RAL or Pantone shade, full polish, brushed, and two-tone combinations. Because each wheel is made to order, there is no additional lead time penalty for selecting a custom finish. The most popular configurations for the 3.01 FX3 are Silver Machine with Chrome hardware, and Gloss Black with Gold hardware for a high-contrast street-performance look.

FEA Testing & Certifications

3SDM's engineering team uses Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software with their own proprietary loading scenarios to simulate wheel strength, stress concentration points, and long-term fatigue life for every wheel design before production. This computational validation process ensures that the 3.01 FX3, regardless of the specific diameter, width, or offset specified, meets the structural requirements for the intended application.

All current international wheel standards can be adopted and certified, including JWL VIA (Japan), ISO 3006 (international), and TÜV (Germany/Europe). If your intended use requires a specific certification — for road registration, motorsport homologation, or insurance purposes — specify it when placing your order. FEA reports and certification documentation are available on request and can be provided for inspection or customs purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the 3SDM 3.01 FX3 Series?
The 3SDM 3.01 FX3 is a fully bespoke 3-piece forged wheel produced in the UK. The FX3 designation identifies the face-mount construction with extended inner barrel clearance for large brake kit fitment. The 3.01 is a multi-spoke design shared across the FR, FX2, and FX3 variants — the FX3 version provides the maximum brake caliper and rotor clearance of the three.

How long does production take?
Standard lead time is 30–60 days from order confirmation and deposit payment. Complex or unusual specifications — such as extreme widths, rare PCDs, or multi-tone finishes — may add marginally to this timeline. 3SDM will provide an accurate delivery estimate at the time of order confirmation.

Can I get the 3.01 FX3 in a custom colour?
Yes. Because every wheel is made to order, fully custom powder coat, polished, brushed, two-tone, or anodised finishes are available with no lead-time penalty. Hardware colour (Chrome, Black, Gold, Neo Chrome, or Titanium) is fully selectable at no extra lead time.

Do these wheels come with TÜV or JWL VIA certification?
3SDM can supply JWL VIA, ISO, and TÜV certification to customer specification. Specify your required certification standard when placing your order. FEA structural analysis documentation is available for all wheel designs.

What is the difference between FX3, FR, and FX2?
All three share the 3.01 spoke design. The FR uses a sandwich-mount barrel construction for a classic full-step Euro lip. The FX2 extends the spokes outward using a face-mount approach for a more aggressive profile. The FX3 uses a face-mount construction specifically engineered for maximum inner barrel clearance — making it ideal for big brake kit builds where caliper and rotor clearance is critical.

Is the minimum order one wheel?
Yes. 3SDM accepts orders for single wheels, pairs, or full sets. This makes the 3.01 FX3 ideal for replacing a damaged wheel on an existing set, or for building a staggered fitment where front and rear specifications differ significantly.

Wheel Care

To maintain the finish and structural integrity of your 3SDM 3.01 FX3 wheels, follow these care guidelines:

• Clean with a pH-neutral wheel cleaner and a soft microfibre cloth or dedicated wheel brush. Avoid harsh acids, strong alkaline degreasers, or abrasive pads — these damage polished, powder-coated, and Diamond Cut surfaces.
• Rinse thoroughly after driving in wet, salty, or road-treatment conditions. Road salt accelerates corrosion on barrel assembly hardware over time.
• Apply a dedicated wheel wax, sealant, or ceramic coating to protect the spoke face and barrel finish, particularly on polished or Diamond Cut sections which are more susceptible to chemical etching.
• After installation, re-torque all wheel bolts to the vehicle manufacturer's specification after the first 50–100 km of driving. This is critical for all wheels, especially freshly installed bespoke sets.
• Inspect the barrel assembly bolts annually — 3-piece wheels use assembly hardware that can benefit from periodic torque checks, particularly after track use or high-mileage driving.
• Store unused wheels in a cool, dry, temperature-stable environment. Use tyre bags or wheel covers to protect the finish from UV degradation and dust accumulation during storage.
