AL 13 A005-R AERO-R Forged Wheels

AL 13 A005-R — AERO-R Forged Wheel

The AL 13 A005-R is part of AL 13's AERO-R Series — a collection of forged aluminum wheels combining the classic R Series spoke design with a dedicated aerodynamic rim profile engineered for high-speed drag reduction and distinctive deep-dish visual presence. The A005-R is manufactured from 6061-T6 aerospace-grade forged aluminum at the Brea, California facility, CNC-machined to a run-out standard of 0.007 inch, and available in 1-piece (monoblock), 2-piece, and 3-piece configurations. No shelf stock is held — every A005-R is built to your exact PCD, offset, width, and finish specification.

Each A005-R starts as a forged billet bar processed through AL 13's pressure-and-heat forging cycle. A custom spin-forging machine extends the rim radially, aligning aluminum grain with the primary load paths — tensile (cornering), compressive (braking), and cyclic fatigue (road inputs). The deep AERO-R barrel geometry is then CNC-machined to the specified profile, providing aerodynamic containment of wheel-arch airflow without the unsprung weight penalty of a full disc design.

Finish & Color Options

• Transparent finishes: Carbon Red, Combustion Blue, Cali Gold, Liquid Bronze, Champion Bronze, Clear, Shadow Silver, Shadow Grey, Shadow Black
• Base surface treatments: Gloss Brushed | Gloss Polished | Gloss Stone | Matte Brushed | Matte Polished | Matte Stone
• Solid opaque finishes: Custom RAL, Pantone, or OEM codes in Gloss, Satin, or Texture
• Premium configurations: Two-tone face/barrel, polished lip / matte face, body-paint colour match
• 109RD Dark: Smoked mirror-finish transparent on AERO-R configuration — reveals the forged grain through a dark tinted coat

AL 13's finish partners in Brisbane, Tokyo, and Hamburg supply the transparent and specialty coatings used on the AERO-R Series. Colour chips and digital mock-up images are provided before production begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AL 13 A005-R?
The A005-R is a forged aluminum wheel from AL 13's AERO-R Series — combining R Series spoke design with a deep aerodynamic inner barrel, manufactured from 6061-T6 aerospace aluminum in Brea, California. Available in 1-piece, 2-piece, and 3-piece, built to order.

What is the aero benefit of the A005-R?
The deep AERO-R barrel contains airflow inside the wheel cavity, reducing turbulent drag at the wheel arch at sustained highway speeds (120 km/h+) and on track — without the weight penalty of a full disc design.

What sizes are available?
Diameters 13" to 24" and widths 5J to 14.5J. Maximum aero benefit in 20"–24" diameters.

Is the 109RD finish available?
Yes — the 109RD dark smoked transparent is available on the A005-R in the AERO-R configuration. Enquire at [email protected].

How long does delivery take?
Lead time confirmed at order. Worldwide shipping adds 3–10 business days after production. Pre-shipping photos provided before crating.

What run-out tolerance does the A005-R achieve?
AL 13 consistently achieves 0.007" manufacturing run-out — more than four times tighter than the 0.030" industry standard.

Wheel Care

• Clean with a pH-neutral wheel cleaner and soft microfiber or natural-hair brush.
• Rinse with cool water before applying any product; avoid hot surfaces.
• Apply SiO2 ceramic coating every 3–4 months to guard against brake-dust etching and UV fade.
• Torque wheel bolts to manufacturer specification; re-check after first 50–100 km.
• For 2-piece and 3-piece configurations, inspect barrel bolts annually.
• Inspect for kerb-impact damage; forged aluminum is highly impact-resistant but any significant strike should be assessed before further high-speed use.
