3SDM 3.62 FX3 3-Piece Forged Wheels
3SDM 3.62 FX3 Series — FX3 Euro Style 3-Piece Forged Wheels — Extended Brake Clearance
The 3SDM 3.62 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 brake-clearance-focused 3-piece construction — the 3.62 FX3 combines a face-mounted spoke assembly, a Euro step lip, and an extended inner barrel that provides approximately 25–40mm of additional brake calliper clearance over the standard FR specification. The 3.62 six-spoke directional design with its broad spoke faces is well-suited to the FX3 configuration — the extended inner barrel provides the brake clearance required for performance systems while preserving the distinctive directional spoke profile. The FX3 is the recommended specification for vehicles running performance big brake kits, factory sports packages with oversized callipers, or any application where brake hardware conflicts with a standard wheel profile. Every wheel is built to order at the 3SDM manufacturing facility in England.
Available Sizes
The 3.62 FX3 is available in all diameters from 13" to 24", built entirely to your specification. Width, offset, and centre bore are configured precisely for your vehicle:
- 13" — compact and vintage applications; classic car fitments and custom narrow-body builds
- 14" — small sports and track vehicles; restoration projects and period-correct custom builds
- 15" — classic European sports cars; club racing and lightweight custom platforms
- 16" — entry-level sports cars, hot hatches, and track-day compact builds
- 17" — sports compacts and performance hatchbacks; custom project vehicles requiring smaller diameter profiles
- 18" — smaller sports platforms with performance brake packages requiring additional clearance
- 19" — the most common diameter for road vehicles with upgraded brake systems; suits most big brake kits
- 20" — popular on executive saloons, SUVs, and GT cars with factory sport brake packages
- 21" — Porsche, Audi, and BMW M-car fitments with large OEM or aftermarket brake kits
- 22" — premium SUVs and luxury coupés; air-ride compatible
- 23" — custom show builds requiring extended clearance at larger diameters
- 24" — maximum-diameter bespoke fitments with custom brake system integration
Width range: 5J to 14.5J in custom increments. Centre bore is machined to your vehicle's exact hub specification. Staggered front/rear widths and offsets are standard practice; each axle is configured independently. A full specification sheet is provided with every order.
Need a Different Size or Bolt Pattern?
The FX3 bespoke construction means no standard size constraints apply. If your vehicle requires a non-standard diameter, width, offset, or bolt pattern, our team specifies it precisely, including compatibility with your specific brake callipers.

3SDM 3.62 FX3 vs. Other 3SDM Models
| Model | Series | Spoke / Concave Profile | Brake Clearance | Best Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3SDM 3.62 FX3 | FX3 (this wheel) | Standard spoke depth | Extended (+25–40mm) | Big brake kit & factory sport brake compatibility |
| 3SDM 3.62 FR | FR | Standard spoke depth | Standard | Classic profile, versatile road use |
| 3SDM 3.62 FX2 | FX2 | Extended — deeper concave profile | Standard | Dramatic concave look, show & stance builds |
The 3.62 FX3 is the correct choice when brake calliper clearance is the primary requirement. For the same face design with standard spoke depth, the 3SDM 3.62 FR is the appropriate choice. If you want maximum concave depth without a large calliper requirement, see the 3SDM 3.62 FX2. Contact [email protected] for specification guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does FX3 mean?
- FX3 designates a specific barrel configuration within the 3SDM 3-piece forged range. The face-mount construction with an extended inner barrel provides approximately 25–40mm of additional brake calliper clearance over the standard FR specification. FX3 is specifically engineered for vehicles with performance big brake kits or factory sport brake packages where standard wheels create calliper contact.
- How does the FX3 differ from the FR and FX2?
- The FR uses a sandwich-mount barrel construction with standard spoke depth — the most versatile option. The FX2 uses face-mount construction with extended spoke depth for a deeper concave appearance at standard clearance. The FX3 also uses face-mount construction, but its extended inner barrel prioritises brake clearance over spoke depth aesthetics. If your requirement is visual concave depth, choose FX2. If your requirement is brake clearance, choose FX3.
- How much additional brake clearance does the FX3 provide?
- The FX3 barrel configuration provides approximately 25–40mm of additional clearance over the standard FR specification. Exact clearance depends on the wheel diameter and width specified. Our team can confirm clearance against your specific calliper dimensions — provide the calliper brand and model when enquiring.
- What lead time should I expect?
- Standard production is 8–12 weeks from confirmed order and deposit. Rush production may be available — enquire at [email protected] for current capacity.
- Can I run the FX3 without a big brake kit?
- Yes. The FX3 extended inner barrel is a structural feature of the wheel, not a restriction. Vehicles with standard brakes can run the FX3 — it simply provides additional space between the calliper and the barrel inner surface. Some customers choose FX3 for future-proofing if they plan a brake upgrade after the wheel order.
- Can the wheel be refinished after use?
- Yes. The 3-piece construction allows the face to be separated from the barrel for independent refinishing at any time. This practical advantage means cosmetic work can be addressed without full wheel replacement.
- Are two-tone finishes possible on the FX3?
- Yes — face and barrel can each receive a different finish. Digital renders in your chosen colour combination are available before production is confirmed.

Wheel Care & Maintenance
Caring for your 3SDM 3.62 FX3 forged wheels correctly preserves structural integrity and finish quality:
- Cleaning: Use pH-neutral, alloy-safe wheel cleaners. Avoid acid-based or abrasive products on polished, brushed, or bare aluminium surfaces.
- Barrel bolt torque: Check barrel bolt torque to the specified value after the first 500 miles, and every 12 months or 10,000 miles thereafter.
- Refinishing: The 3-piece construction allows the face to be separated from the barrel for independent refinishing — a significant advantage over monoblock wheels.
- Polished surfaces: Maintain polished faces or barrels with a dedicated metal polish and UV-protective sealant applied regularly.
- Storage: When stored off-vehicle, stack wheels horizontally with foam separators and apply a protective wax before storage.
- Tyre pressures: Always maintain correct tyre pressures to prevent rim bead seat deformation.
