AL 13 RS50 3-Piece Forged Wheels

AL 13 RS50 — Race-Engineered 3-Piece Forged Wheel

The AL 13 RS50 is a precision-crafted 3-piece forged wheel at the heart of AL 13's RS Series — a collection designed from first principles for drivers who demand motorsport-grade construction in a road-legal, daily-drivable fitment. Every RS50 begins its life as a round cast bar that is pressure- and heat-forged into a cylindrical blank at AL 13's Brea, California facility, eliminating the micro-porosity inherent in cast or flow-formed wheels. A custom-built spin-forging machine then draws the rim section outward in the radial direction, aligning the grain structure with the principal operating loads — tensile stress from cornering, compressive stress from braking, and cyclic fatigue from road inputs — before the wheel ever sees a CNC mill. The result is a forged aluminum structure engineered to outlast the vehicle it is fitted to, with a dimensional run-out standard of 0.007 inch that is more than four times tighter than the 0.030-inch industry norm. No AL 13 RS50 leaves the facility with a measured run-out above 0.010 inch, and every wheel is signed off by name before crating for delivery.

Fitment advisory: The RS Series is most commonly specified in the 19"–24" range for modern performance and luxury platforms, but AL 13 manufactures every RS50 to your exact specification. Provide your make, model, year, brake package, and stance target — the AL 13 team will confirm the optimal build sheet within 24 hours.

Need an unconventional size? Because every RS50 is forged to order, there is no shelf-stock constraint. Any diameter, width, offset, and PCD combination is available. Hodoor also provides an AI Wheel Design Service for customers seeking a bespoke spoke pattern in the RS format. Contact [email protected] and a specialist will respond within 24 hours.

Technical Specifications

• Construction method: 3-piece forged aluminum — face and barrel CNC-machined separately, then precision-assembled
• Alloy grade: 6061-T6 aerospace-grade forged aluminum billet
• Structural validation: Finite Element Analysis (FEA) performed on every spoke geometry to confirm load-path optimisation and fatigue life
• Machining: High-speed vertical CNC mills — up to 8 hours of mill time per wheel; every spoke pocket, flange interface, and valve hole position machined to tolerance
• Lathe profile: Front and rear lathe-turned; over 70% of the raw forging removed to maximise concavity and minimise unsprung mass without sacrificing stiffness
• Pre-finish prep: Multi-stage hand filing, deburring, buffing, and ceramic bead high-luster polishing before any colour or coating is applied
• Width availability: 5J to 14.5J in any increment
• Run-out standard: Consistent manufacturing run-out at 0.007" (shipping maximum: 0.010"; industry standard: 0.030")
• Assembly hardware: Digital Snap-On® Torque Wrenches used for every bolt; assembler initials on each barrel joint
• Team experience: 70+ years of combined forged wheel expertise across the AL 13 engineering and finishing team
• Production location: Designed, engineered, spin-forged, CNC-machined, and hand-finished in Brea, California (Los Angeles metro area), USA
• Lead time: Made to order — lead time quoted at purchase; pre-shipping photo set provided

Why 3-piece construction? A 3-piece wheel separates the face from the inner and outer barrel sections, giving AL 13's engineers independent control over each component's geometry. The barrel width and offset can be adjusted after machining, enabling extreme concave profiles and wide-body fitments without tooling changes. Barrel seams are precision-sealed and bolted with aerospace fasteners at consistent torque values, and the design allows individual component replacement if a single piece is damaged — a significant long-term ownership advantage over one-piece alternatives.

Finish & Color Options

• Transparent finishes: Carbon Red, Combustion Blue, Cali Gold, Liquid Bronze, Champion Bronze, Clear, Shadow Silver, Shadow Grey, Shadow Black — each lets the forged grain texture show through
• Base surface treatments: Gloss Brushed | Gloss Polished | Gloss Stone | Matte Brushed | Matte Polished | Matte Stone
• Solid opaque finishes: Custom RAL, Pantone, or OEM paint codes in Gloss, Satin, or Texture
• Premium configurations: Two-tone face/barrel, polished-lip / matte-face, colour-matched to factory body paint or wrap film code
• Specialty options: Exposed forged grain (uncoated), electropolish, full mirror polish — enquire for availability

AL 13 sources premium coating partners from Brisbane (Australia), Tokyo (Japan), and Hamburg (Germany) to ensure each transparent coat reveals the natural flow lines in the forged aluminum. Finish sample chips are available on request, and colour verification photos are sent for approval before production commences.

Finish durability: All AL 13 finishes are UV-stabilised and brake-dust resistant. Transparent finishes over polished or brushed base treatments are hardened with a clear protective lacquer, and solid colours are powder-coated or wet-painted to automotive OEM standards before a final clear coat is applied.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the AL 13 RS50?
The RS50 is a 3-piece forged aluminum wheel from AL 13's RS Series — a race-inspired collection machined from 6061-T6 aerospace-grade aluminum at AL 13's Brea, California facility. Every RS50 is built to your exact PCD, offset, width, and finish specification; there is no shelf stock.

What cars does the RS50 fit?
Any modern performance or luxury platform. Common fitments include Porsche 911, Lamborghini Huracan and Aventador, Ferrari 488 and 812, McLaren 720S and 765LT, Audi R8, Mercedes-AMG GT and G 63, BMW M3 and M4, Bentley Continental GT, and Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Every set is built to your exact PCD, offset, and brake clearance.

What sizes are available for the RS50?
Diameters from 13" to 24" and widths from 5J to 14.5J, in any offset and PCD. The RS Series is most commonly specified in the 19"–24" range for performance and luxury fitments, though smaller diameters are available for track and time-attack applications.

What is the run-out tolerance?
AL 13 consistently achieves a manufacturing run-out of 0.007" — well below the 0.010" maximum allowed to leave the facility, and more than four times tighter than the 0.030" industry standard. This ensures vibration-free performance from day one.

How long does delivery take?
Lead time is confirmed at order placement, as every RS50 is forged, machined, assembled, and finished to your specification. Worldwide shipping typically adds 3–10 business days after production is complete. Pre-shipping inspection photos are sent before crating and dispatch.

Can I get a two-tone or custom colour finish?
Yes. The full AL 13 finish palette — including nine transparent colours over six brushed/polished/stone base treatments, plus any solid colour in Gloss, Satin, or Texture — is available. Two-tone configurations and OEM-matched paint codes are also supported. Sample chips and colour verification images are provided before production starts.

Is center-lock available?
Yes. AL 13 manufactures RS50 in center-lock configurations for Porsche 911 GT3 / Turbo S (992), Lamborghini Aventador SVJ, Ferrari 488 Pista, and McLaren 765LT. Specify center-lock when submitting your build details.

Wheel Care

• Clean with a pH-neutral wheel cleaner and a soft microfiber or natural-hair brush. Acid- and alkaline-based cleaners etch brushed and polished AL 13 finishes.
• Rinse with cool water before applying any product to prevent thermal shock, and avoid spraying cleaners onto hot rotors or wheel surfaces.
• Apply a dedicated wheel sealant or SiO2-based ceramic coating every 3–4 months to protect against brake-dust iron contamination and UV colour fade.
• Torque wheel bolts to your car manufacturer's specification and re-check after the first 50–100 km of driving following any wheel change.
• Inspect for kerb-impact damage periodically — AL 13 forged wheels are highly impact-resistant, but any significant kerb strike should be assessed by a wheel-repair specialist before further high-speed use.
• For two-tone or polished lip finishes, apply dedicated metal polish and protective wax to the chrome or polished sections, keeping product away from the matte or brushed face.
