3SDM 3.01 FX2 Series — FX2 Extended Spoke 3-Piece Forged Wheels — Deep Concave Profile
The 3SDM 3.01 FX2 Series takes the 3.01 face design and applies the FX2 extended-spoke, face-mount barrel construction — producing a significantly deeper concave profile than the standard FR variant while retaining the full bespoke customisation capabilities of the 3SDM 3-piece forged programme. The classic 3.01 multi-spoke design takes on a new visual character in FX2 form — the extended spoke depth brings a concave intensity to a timeless pattern, suitable for stance builds, modified saloons, and show vehicles seeking a deeper, more dramatic profile. Every FX2 wheel is built to order at the 3SDM manufacturing facility in England, with each dimension specified to your vehicle's exact requirements.
Available Sizes
The 3.01 FX2 Series is available in the full diameter range from 18" through 24", entirely built to order. Widths and offsets are custom per vehicle specification:
- 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" — compact sports cars, hot hatches, and track-day applications requiring minimum unsprung weight
- 19" — sports saloons, coupés, and GT cars; the most popular diameter for road-focused performance builds
- 20" — SUVs, executive saloons, and performance coupés; suits standard and air-ride suspension platforms
- 21" — luxury GT cars, Porsche fitments, and bespoke builds requiring a larger wheel profile
- 22" — premium SUVs and large coupés; popular in staggered rear fitments for maximum stance
- 23" — custom show builds and modified platforms requiring a commanding presence
- 24" — maximum-diameter fitments for bespoke vehicles and high-ride-height custom projects
Width range: 7.0" to 14.0" in custom increments. The deeper FX2 concave geometry is particularly effective in wider widths (9J+), where the extended spoke length creates a dramatic visual impression. All ET values are specified per axle for staggered configurations. A detailed specification sheet is included with every order.
Need a Different Size or Bolt Pattern?
The FX2 bespoke construction means no fixed size constraints apply. If your platform requires a non-standard diameter, width, offset, or bolt pattern, our specialist team will specify it precisely. Use the Hodoor World AI Wheel Design Service for an instant fitment recommendation, then confirm final specification with us:
We verify suspension clearances, tyre fitment, and arch compatibility before production is confirmed — ensuring the specification is correct before any material is committed to your order.

Finish & Colour Options
The 3-piece construction allows face and barrel to be finished independently — the defining advantage for two-tone and contrast specifications that are not possible on monoblock wheels. All finishing is completed in-house at the 3SDM facility in England. Options include:

- Brushed Aluminium / Brushed Silver — hand-brushed aluminium texture with UV-protective clear lacquer; a motorsport classic
- Polished — full mirror polish on face and/or barrel; premium show finish requiring periodic maintenance
- Gloss White — clean contrast finish; particularly effective on dark vehicles or for show builds
- Satin Black — flat matte black powder coat; stealth aesthetic, durable and low-maintenance
- Gunmetal / Dark Grey — satin or gloss metallic grey; understated performance look
- Bronze / Champagne Gold — warm metallic tone; popular in the modified and stance communities
- Candy Finishes — translucent candy apple red, candy blue, candy purple, and other candy hues via specialist powder
- Custom RAL / Vehicle Match — any RAL or BS colour, precisely matched to bodywork or interior accents on request
- Two-Tone Face & Barrel — contrasting face and barrel colours; only achievable on 3-piece forged wheels
- Brushed with Colour Tint — brushed aluminium base with a translucent colour overlay for a premium bespoke effect

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does FX2 mean?
- FX2 designates a specific barrel configuration within the 3SDM 3-piece forged range. The face-mount construction positions the face plate further out relative to the barrel, extending the visual and physical spoke depth to create a deeper concave profile compared to the standard FR (Forged Rim) series. FX2 is an aesthetic-focused specification; the FX3 designation is used for the brake-clearance-focused extended inner barrel construction.
- How does the FX2 differ from the FR?
- The FR uses a conventional rim-mount barrel construction with a standard spoke depth. The FX2 uses a face-mount system that increases the depth of the spoke profile toward the vehicle, resulting in a more pronounced concave appearance. The FX2 is heavier by a small margin (typically 0.2–0.5kg per wheel) due to the more complex barrel assembly — this is the trade-off for the enhanced visual depth.
- Is the FX2 suitable for a vehicle with a big brake kit?
- The FX2 provides standard brake clearance — it is not engineered specifically for large calliper kits. If your vehicle runs a performance BBK (e.g. Brembo GT-S, Alcon, or similar), the FX3 series is the appropriate choice, as it adds approximately 25–40mm of additional clearance behind the wheel face. Contact [email protected] if you are unsure which series fits your brake setup.
- 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 lead times.
- Can I combine FX2 front and FX3 rear on the same vehicle?
- Yes. Mixing series per axle is a common approach when the rear axle requires BBK clearance but the front does not — or vice versa. Each axle can have a different specification including diameter, width, ET, and series (FR / FX2 / FX3). Discuss your specific requirements with our team.
- 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 — a significant advantage over monoblock wheels in terms of cost and turnaround time for cosmetic work.
- Are two-tone finishes possible?
- Yes — and this is one of the primary advantages of 3-piece forged construction. Face and barrel can each receive a different finish: gloss black face with polished barrel, brushed face with candy barrel, or any other combination. Our team can provide renders in your chosen combination before production is confirmed.

Wheel Care & Maintenance
Caring for your 3SDM 3.01 FX2 forged wheels correctly preserves the structural integrity and finish quality across years of use:
- Cleaning: Use pH-neutral, alloy-safe wheel cleaners. Avoid acid-based or abrasive products on polished, brushed, or bare aluminium surfaces. A soft brush and non-caustic shampoo is ideal for powder-coated faces.
- Barrel bolt torque: Check barrel bolt torque to the specified value (provided in the documentation supplied with your wheels) after the first 500 miles, and every 12 months or 10,000 miles thereafter. This is a simple check with a torque wrench.
- Refinishing: The 3-piece construction allows the face to be separated from the barrel for independent refinishing — a significant advantage over monoblock wheels. Professional refinishing is available without full wheel replacement.
- Polished surfaces: Maintain polished faces or barrels with a dedicated metal polish and UV-protective sealant applied regularly. Polish before oxidation sets in to prevent pitting.
- Storage: When stored off-vehicle, stack wheels horizontally with foam separators. Clean and apply a protective wax before storage to prevent corrosion from salt residue.
- Tyre pressures: Always maintain correct tyre pressures. Extended running on significantly under-inflated tyres can overload the rim bead seat and cause permanent deformation.
