1221 Wheels 0331 AP3L APEX3.0 Forged Wheels
1221 0331 AP3L APEX3.0 — The 3-Piece APEX3.0 Floating Spoke Platform
The 1221 Wheels 0331 AP3L APEX3.0 is 1221 Wheels' 3-Piece floating-spoke forged platform built to the APEX3.0 material specification — engineered from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum under 10,000 tons of forging pressure. The AP3L delivers 1221 Wheels' traditional 3-piece architecture (forged floating-spoke face and separate forged outer rim) with the advanced material treatment of the APEX3.0 tier. This places the AP3L APEX3.0 above the floating-spoke SPORT3.0 variant in the 1221 hierarchy, providing a premium bespoke 3-piece platform for builds that demand both engineering depth and elevated material quality — without requiring the full X-Series hardware specification of the AP3LX.

AP3L Three-Piece Wheel Construction
The 1221 AP3L pairs a floating spoke xConcave profile with traditional 3-piece construction, producing the deepest concave visual in the 3-piece range. Extended spokes reach beyond the assembly flange to the outer lip to amplify apparent wheel size, and each set ships with your choice of fully exposed or completely hidden hardware — with most styles supporting the 20|20 option as well. AP3L styles come in V.I.P., Apex, and Sport editions, each machined from 6061-T6 forged aluminum.
Wheel Hardware Options
The AP3L three-piece construction uses barrel-to-centerdisk assembly fasteners, and 1221 Wheels offers three hardware presentation options at no additional charge: 20|20 (a balanced mix of exposed and blind bolts for a modular look), Blind (all fasteners reverse-mounted for a clean monoblock aesthetic with no visible hardware), and Exposed (all bolts fully visible for a classic, high-contrast appearance). The Blind option is especially compelling on the AP3L configuration — it delivers a true single-piece visual while retaining the maximum offset range and concave depth that 3-piece construction enables. Hardware is finished in standard chrome or any custom color to complement your brake calipers, lip, or car color, and upgrading to laser-etched 1221 titanium fasteners reduces assembly bolt weight by 41%.
Upgrade to Titanium Hardware
An optional upgrade to Grade 5 titanium fasteners is available for AP2, AP3, AP3L, and AP3LX configurations across all three hardware presentations — Exposed, 20|20, and Blind. Titanium hardware outperforms standard steel in corrosion resistance and delivers a premium industrial aesthetic; a matching titanium center cap is available as a complement. Many owners purchase a titanium set as an additional hardware option, making it easy to switch between standard and titanium fasteners and refresh the wheel's look without any structural change.
