3SDM 3.20 FX3 Series 3-Piece Forged Wheels

3SDM 3.20 FX3 Series — FX3 Extended Inner Barrel 3-Piece Forged Wheels — Big Brake Compatible

The 3SDM 3.20 FX3 Series brings the FX3 extended-inner-barrel construction to the 3.20 spoke design — delivering the same face geometry as the 3.20 FR while adding the brake clearance required for large performance calliper kits. The FX3 face-mount system extends the inner barrel further inward than a standard FR wheel, providing approximately 25–40mm of additional clearance behind the wheel face for Brembo, Alcon, AP Racing, or factory big-brake systems. The 3.20 spoke design is known for its balanced, multi-spoke aesthetic, and the FX3 construction opens this design to vehicles running upgraded callipers or high-performance factory brake packages that require space behind the face. Built entirely to order at the 3SDM facility in England.

Technical Specifications

The 3.20 FX3 Series uses a face-mount 3-piece forged construction with an extended inner barrel system engineered specifically for vehicles running large brake calliper kits:

Finish & Colour Options

The 3-piece forged construction allows independent finishing of the face and barrel — enabling two-tone and contrast finishes that are impossible to achieve on monoblock wheels. Every finish is applied in-house at the 3SDM facility. Available options include:

• Gloss Black — deep powder coat; the most popular choice for aggressive and modified builds
• 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

Finish samples (physical swatches) and digital renders in your chosen finish are available on request before order confirmation. Contact [email protected] to arrange samples.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does FX3 mean?

FX3 designates a specific barrel construction within the 3SDM 3-piece forged range. The face is bolted to the outer rim (face-mount), and the inner barrel is extended further inward than on a standard FR wheel. This additional depth provides clearance behind the face for large brake callipers, rotors, and associated hardware.

How much additional brake clearance does the 3.20 FX3 provide?

The FX3 inner barrel extension provides approximately 25–40mm of additional clearance behind the wheel face compared to an equivalent FR specification. Exact clearance depends on the ET (offset) and width selected. Our team can calculate exact clearance figures for your brake kit if you provide the calliper and rotor dimensions.

Is the FX3 heavier than the FR version?

The FX3 barrel construction adds a small amount of weight due to the extended inner hoop. The difference is typically 0.3–0.7kg per wheel depending on diameter and width. For most road applications this is negligible; for race weight-sensitive builds, the FR series may be preferred if brake clearance is not required.

What lead time should I expect?

Standard production lead time is 8–12 weeks from confirmed order and deposit. Rush production may be available — contact [email protected] to check current availability.

Can I order a staggered fitment?

Yes — staggered front/rear setups are standard for 3-piece forged wheels. Each axle is specified independently. It is common to specify an FR barrel on the front axle and FX3 on the rear axle when only the rear brake kit requires extra clearance — ask our team for guidance.

Can the wheel be refinished?

Yes. The 3-piece construction allows the face to be separated from the barrel for independent refinishing at any time — significantly cheaper and faster than refinishing a monoblock wheel.

Are all finishes available on the FX3 as on the FR?

Yes — all finishes available on the FR series are equally available on the FX3 series. The barrel and face can be finished independently for two-tone or contrast effects.

Wheel Care & Maintenance

Maintaining your 3SDM 3.20 FX3 3-piece forged wheels correctly will preserve both the structural integrity and the finish for 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.
