AL 13 DT001 3-Piece Forged Wheels

AL 13 DT001 — 3-Piece Custom Forged Wheel

The AL 13 DT001 is a custom forged 3-piece wheel produced at AL 13's facility in Brea, California. The 3-piece architecture combines an independent forged face with separate outer and inner barrels, each finished individually and assembled to your precise specification — representing the deepest level of engineering customisation in the AL 13 range.

Every DT001 is built to order: customers specify diameter, width, offset, bolt pattern, and finish for each component. Because the barrels are independent, offset and width can be adjusted to achieve fitments that neither monoblock nor 2-piece wheels can accommodate. The 3-piece construction is also fully serviceable — individual components can be replaced or refinished without replacing the entire wheel.

Available Sizes

The AL 13 DT001 is available across a complete diameter range from 13 inches to 24 inches, with widths starting at 5J and extending to 14.5J. Because every wheel is built to order, AL 13 can accommodate virtually any combination of diameter, width, and offset that your vehicle and intended fitment require.

Standard diameter options: 13", 14", 15", 16", 17", 18", 19", 20", 21", 22", 23", 24". Custom diameters outside this range may be available on request — contact [email protected] to discuss your project.

Width options: 5J, 6J, 6.5J, 7J, 7.5J, 8J, 8.5J, 9J, 9.5J, 10J, 10.5J, 11J, 11.5J, 12J, 13J, 14J, 14.5J. Offset: fully custom — specify your required ET and AL 13 will machine to that offset. Centre bore is machined to your vehicle's exact hub bore for a true zero-clearance fit.

• Diameter: 13" – 24"
• Width: 5J – 14.5J
• Offset: custom ET to your specification
• Centre bore: custom machined to your vehicle's hub bore
• Bolt pattern: 4×100 to 6×139.7 and custom patterns available

Technical Specifications

Every AL 13 DT001 is engineered and manufactured at the brand's own production facility in Brea, California. AL 13 does not outsource manufacturing or use contract facilities — the entire process from forging to final quality control happens in-house, giving the brand complete control over tolerances and finish quality.

AL 13's 3-piece wheels use a three-component assembly: a fully forged and CNC-machined centre disc, a spun aluminium outer barrel, and a spun aluminium inner barrel. The three pieces are bolted together with machine-threaded aviation-grade hardware at both the outer and inner flanges, allowing precise adjustment of offset and width by swapping barrel depths — at time of order or as part of a future rebuild.

The result is a structurally sound, fully serviceable wheel that can be disassembled for refinishing of individual components, repaired if one section is damaged, or reconfigured for a different vehicle application. All 3-piece wheels ship from Brea, California individually inspected and pressure-tested for airtight barrel sealing.

• Material: T6061 forged aluminium alloy
• Construction: 3-Piece Bolted
• Production method: CNC machined, flow-formed barrels where applicable
• Finish process: powder coat, anodising, polishing, or custom paint — all in-house
• Load rating: certified to SAE J2530 and TUV equivalent standards
• Centre bore: custom machined to vehicle hub bore

Finish & Color Options

AL 13 offers one of the widest finish ranges available from any custom forged wheel manufacturer. Because all finishing is done in-house at the Brea facility, the brand can accommodate virtually any colour, texture, or effect the customer requests.

Standard finish categories:

• Brushed — directional brush on face, polished lip; classic two-tone look
• Polished — full mirror polish on face, barrels, and hardware
• Gloss Black — powder coat, single colour throughout
• Matte Black — flat powder coat, aggressive low-glare stance
• Custom Colour — RAL or Pantone matched powder coat or paint
• Two-Tone — contrasting face and barrel/lip colours
• Anodised — electrochemical colour process, permanent and corrosion-resistant
• Chrome — full chrome or selective chrome accents on face or lip
• Custom Artwork — engraving, milling patterns, bespoke face designs on request

All finish options are available across the full diameter and width range. Lead times vary by finish complexity — standard powder coat ships in 6–10 weeks; custom paint or polishing may require 10–14 weeks. Contact [email protected] with your finish requirements for a lead time estimate and pricing.

How the AL 13 DT001 Compares to the AL 13 Range

AL 13 produces four construction types, each optimised for a different set of priorities. Understanding where the DT001 sits in the lineup helps you choose the right wheel for your project:

All four series share T6061 aluminium material, the same Brea, California manufacturing facility, and the same build-to-order philosophy. The choice between them comes down to your priorities: weight vs. offset flexibility vs. serviceability vs. design character.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are AL 13 DT001 wheels in stock, or are they made to order?
A: AL 13 operates exclusively on a build-to-order basis. No DT001 wheels are held in stock. Every wheel is manufactured to the customer's exact specification — diameter, width, offset, centre bore, bolt pattern, and finish. This ensures a perfect fitment every time, but means lead times of 6–14 weeks apply.

Q: What is the lead time for the AL 13 DT001?
A: Standard lead time is 6–10 weeks for powder coat finishes and 10–14 weeks for polished, chrome, or custom paint finishes. Lead times vary based on AL 13's current production schedule. We will give you a current lead time estimate when you enquire.

Q: Can I order the DT001 in a diameter larger than 24 inches?
A: AL 13's standard range covers 13" to 24". Diameters above 24" may be available as a special project — contact [email protected] to discuss. Larger diameters typically carry longer lead times and higher pricing due to increased billet and machining requirements.

Q: What construction method does the AL 13 DT001 use?
A: The DT001 uses a 3-piece bolted construction: a forged aluminium disc, a spun outer barrel, and a spun inner barrel — assembled with aviation-grade hardware. This gives the widest possible offset and width range of any AL 13 construction, and the wheel is fully serviceable: individual pieces can be replaced or refinished independently.

Q: Can Hodoor World ship AL 13 wheels internationally?
A: Yes. Hodoor World ships AL 13 wheels worldwide, including to the UK, EU, UAE, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, and beyond. Duties and taxes vary by destination and are the buyer's responsibility. We will provide a shipping cost estimate as part of your quote.

Q: What warranty do AL 13 wheels carry?
A: AL 13 provides a structural warranty against manufacturing defects. The specific terms will be shared when you place your order through Hodoor World. Warranty does not cover damage from road hazards, improper installation, or cosmetic wear.

Wheel Care

Proper maintenance of your AL 13 DT001 wheels will preserve their appearance and structural integrity for years. Follow these guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a pH-neutral, non-abrasive wheel cleaner. Avoid acid-based cleaners, which can damage powder coat and polished surfaces. Clean with a soft microfibre cloth or brush.
• Frequency: Clean wheels every 1–2 weeks, or after each track session. Brake dust is mildly corrosive and should not be left on the wheel surface for extended periods.
• Polished finishes: Apply a metal polish or dedicated wheel sealant every 3–6 months to maintain shine and protect against oxidation.
• Powder coat: Inspect the finish annually for chips or scratches. Small damage should be touched up promptly to prevent corrosion at the exposed aluminium.
• Winter use: If driving on salted roads, rinse wheels with clean water after every journey. Salt accelerates corrosion on exposed metal surfaces.
• Torque: Check wheel bolt/nut torque after the first 50–100 km following installation and at every tyre change or service. Refer to your vehicle manufacturer's specification.
• Storage: Keep stored tyres and wheels in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight. Use tyre bags or covers to prevent UV degradation of the tyre sidewall.
