AL 13 DB009 2-Piece Forged Wheels

AL 13 DB009 — 2-Piece Custom Forged Wheel

The AL 13 DB009 is a custom forged 2-piece wheel produced by AL 13 Wheels in Brea, California. The 2-piece architecture pairs a forged aluminium face with a custom-spun barrel, bolted together with aerospace-grade hardware — giving you the design versatility of a modular build and the structural confidence of a precision-engineered assembly.

Every DB009 is built entirely to order: customers specify diameter, width, offset, bolt pattern, and finish, and AL 13 machines and assembles the wheel to those exact parameters. The result is a wheel that fits perfectly, looks distinctive, and carries the engineering pedigree of a brand that has been building custom forged wheels for over two decades.

Available Sizes

The AL 13 DB009 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 DB009 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 2-piece architecture separates the structural face from the barrel, allowing each component to be optimised independently. The centre face is forged from T6061 aluminium and fully CNC-profiled; the barrel is spun from 6061-T6 sheet for a seamless, uniform wall thickness. The two halves are assembled with a mated contact surface and secured with high-tensile stainless hardware, creating an airtight joint finished as a single unit.

This construction gives substantial flexibility in offset and width that a monoblock cannot match: face and barrel can be combined in configurations ranging from low-offset deep-dish to high-offset flush fitment. Custom offsets from ET-50 to ET+60 are achievable. All 2-piece wheels are custom-built to order — no off-shelf stock, no compromises.

• Material: T6061 forged aluminium alloy
• Construction: 2-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
• Hardware: stainless steel, colour-matched on request

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.

Vehicle Fitment Guide

How the AL 13 DB009 Compares to the AL 13 Range

AL 13 produces four construction types, each optimised for a different set of priorities. Understanding where the DB009 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 DB009 wheels in stock, or are they made to order?
A: AL 13 operates exclusively on a build-to-order basis. No DB009 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 DB009?
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 DB009 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 DB009 use?
A: The DB009 uses a 2-piece construction: a forged aluminium face bolted to a spun aluminium barrel. This modular design allows for a wider range of custom offsets and widths compared to monoblock wheels, making it ideal for fitment-critical builds where exact tyre-to-arch clearances are required.

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 DB009 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.
