3SDM 3.01 FX1 Series 3-Piece Forged Wheels

3SDM 3.01 FX1 Series — Face-Mount 3-Piece Forged Wheels — Clean Forward Profile

The 3SDM 3.01 FX1 Series takes the classic 3.01 multi-spoke design into the face-mount barrel configuration — the FX1 designation, which positions the face plate forward of the rim flange to produce a cleaner, more contemporary silhouette than the traditional sandwich-mount FR. Unlike the FX2 series which extends the spoke depth for maximum concave drama, the FX1 maintains a standard spoke profile, making it the preferred choice for vehicles requiring a modern face-mount aesthetic without the extreme concave associated with wider FX2 fitments. Every 3.01 FX1 wheel is built to order at the 3SDM facility in England, with each dimension specified to your vehicle's exact requirements.

Available Sizes

The 3.01 FX1 Series is available across the full diameter range from 13" 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: 5J to 14.5J in custom increments. 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?

As a build-to-order wheel, no fixed size constraints apply to the 3.01 FX1 Series. 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:

• Email: [email protected]
• Phone / WhatsApp: +44 7488 818747

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.

Technical Specifications

The 3.01 FX1 Series uses a face-mount 3-piece forged construction with standard spoke profile, delivering the clean forward-facing visual character of face-mount assembly without the extended spoke depth of the FX2 designation:

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:

• 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

Physical finish swatches and digital renders in your chosen colour combination are provided before order confirmation. Contact [email protected] to request samples.

3SDM 3.01 FX1 vs. Other Series Configurations

The 3.01 FX1 sits between the FR and FX2 — it brings the forward-facing character of face-mount assembly without the extended concave of FX2. For the classic look, choose FR. For maximum concave, choose FX2. For brake clearance, choose FX3. Contact [email protected] for specification guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does FX1 mean?

FX1 designates a face-mount barrel configuration with a standard spoke profile. Unlike the FR (sandwich-mount), the FX1 positions the face plate forward relative to the outer rim flange — creating a slightly more outward-facing visual character. Unlike the FX2, the spoke depth is not extended — the FX1 produces a cleaner, less aggressive concave profile, making it appropriate for builds that want the modern face-mount aesthetic without the extreme depth of FX2.

How does the FX1 differ from the FR?

The FR uses a sandwich-mount assembly where the face sits between the rim hoops at standard depth. The FX1 uses a face-mount assembly — the face plate is mounted outward relative to the barrel — which gives a more forward-facing appearance. Both maintain a standard spoke depth; the key visual difference is in the assembly method rather than the concave intensity.

Is the FX1 suitable for a vehicle with a big brake kit?

The FX1 provides standard brake clearance. If your vehicle runs a large competition-spec brake kit, the FX3 series is the appropriate choice as it adds approximately 25–40mm of additional clearance behind the wheel face. Contact [email protected] with your brake specifications for a confirmed clearance check.

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 mix FX1 front and FX2 rear?

Yes. Mixing series per axle is supported — for example, FX1 front with FX2 rear is a common choice when a slightly deeper rear concave is desired without the full FX2 treatment on the front axle. Each axle can have a different specification including diameter, width, ET, and series. Discuss your requirements with our team.

Are two-tone finishes possible?

Yes — the 3-piece construction allows face and barrel to each receive a different finish. Our team can provide renders in your chosen combination before production is confirmed.

Wheel Care & Maintenance

Caring for your 3SDM 3-piece 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.
