AL 13 DB001 2-Piece Forged Wheels

AL 13 DB001 — 2-Piece Custom Forged Wheel

The AL 13 DB001 is a custom forged 2-piece wheel built at AL 13's production facility in Brea, California. A forged aluminium centre face is paired with a precision-spun barrel and assembled with aerospace-grade stainless hardware — combining the structural integrity of a forged wheel with the fitment flexibility of a modular build.

Every DB001 is made to order to the customer's exact diameter, width, offset, bolt pattern, and finish. The 2-piece construction allows offset and width combinations that monoblock wheels cannot achieve, making the DB001 a strong choice for fitment-critical applications where precise tyre-to-arch clearance is required.

Available Sizes

The AL 13 DB001 is produced across a complete diameter range from 13 inches to 24 inches, with widths from 5J to 14.5J. All dimensions are to order — AL 13 machines each wheel to the customer's specified diameter, width, offset, and centre bore, with no standard-size inventory held.

Standard diameters: 13", 14", 15", 16", 17", 18", 19", 20", 21", 22", 23", 24". Extended diameters above 24" may be available as a special project — enquire at [email protected].

Width range: 5J – 14.5J. Widths beyond this range may be accommodated on request. Offset is fully custom — specify your required ET and AL 13 will machine to that dimension. Centre bore is machined to your vehicle's exact hub bore for a zero-clearance fit.

• Diameter: 13" – 24"
• Width: 5J – 14.5J
• Offset: custom ET to specification
• Centre bore: custom machined to vehicle hub bore
• Bolt pattern: 4×100 to 6×139.7 and non-standard patterns available

Technical Specifications

Every AL 13 DB001 is engineered and produced entirely in-house at the Brea, California facility. AL 13 controls the complete manufacturing chain — from forging through CNC machining to in-house finishing — ensuring consistent tolerances and finish quality across every wheel that leaves the building.

AL 13's 2-piece design separates the forged face from the barrel, allowing each component to be engineered to its own optimal specification. The face is forged from T6061 aluminium and CNC-machined to final profile; the barrel is spun from 6061-T6 sheet for a seamless, uniform wall. Both halves mate on a precision-machined contact surface and are fastened with high-tensile stainless hardware, then finished as a single unit.

The modular construction enables offset configurations from ET-50 to ET+60 — a range that simply cannot be achieved in a monoblock. Every 2-piece AL 13 wheel is built specifically for the customer's vehicle; there is no standard stock. Lead time reflects the bespoke nature of the build: typically 6–10 weeks for standard finishes.

• Material: T6061 forged aluminium alloy (T6 heat treatment)
• Construction: 2-Piece Bolted
• Machining: CNC, multi-axis, in-house
• Finishing: powder coat, anodising, polishing, or custom paint — all in-house
• Load rating: SAE J2530 and TUV equivalent certification

Finish & Color Options

Because all finishing operations are performed in-house at Brea, AL 13 can accommodate virtually any colour, texture, or surface treatment. Standard finish families include:

• Brushed — linear directional brush on face, polished or contrasting lip
• Polished — full mirror polish across face, barrels, and hardware
• Gloss Black — hard powder coat, even single-colour coverage
• Matte Black — flat powder coat, minimal glare, aggressive stance
• Custom Colour — RAL or Pantone reference matched in powder coat or paint
• Two-Tone — contrasting colours on face and barrel/lip
• Anodised — permanent electrochemical colour, corrosion-resistant
• Chrome — full chrome or selective chrome on face or lip elements
• Custom Milling — pocketing, engraving, or bespoke spoke profiles on request

Standard powder coat finishes: 6–10 week lead time. Custom paint, polished, or chrome finishes: 10–14 weeks. Contact [email protected] with finish requirements for a lead time and pricing confirmation.

How the AL 13 DB001 Compares to the AL 13 Range

AL 13 offers four construction types. All share the same T6061 material, the same Brea facility, and the same build-to-order approach — the choice between them is a function of your priorities:

If weight is the priority, DM monoblock is the answer. If fitment geometry demands extreme offset or wide body, DB or DT/DS are the path. If long-term serviceability matters — the ability to rebuild or refinish individual components over the years — 3-piece is the investment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the AL 13 DB001 available from stock?
A: No. AL 13 builds every wheel to order with no standard inventory. Each DB001 is machined to the customer's exact diameter, width, offset, centre bore, bolt pattern, and finish. Lead time is 6–14 weeks.

Q: How long does production take?
A: Standard powder coat finishes: 6–10 weeks. Polished, chrome, or custom painted finishes: 10–14 weeks. Current lead times vary with production load — we will confirm at the time of enquiry.

Q: Can I order larger than 24 inches?
A: AL 13's standard catalogue runs 13"–24". Diameters above 24" may be available as a special project — contact [email protected] to discuss feasibility and pricing.

Q: What construction does the AL 13 DB001 use?
A: The DB001 uses a 2-piece bolted construction: a forged T6061 aluminium face assembled to a spun aluminium barrel with precision stainless hardware. The modular design enables a wider range of offsets and widths than monoblock construction can deliver, making it ideal for builds where exact fitment geometry is the priority.

Q: Does Hodoor World ship internationally?
A: Yes, to all major markets — UK, EU, UAE, Australia, Japan, Hong Kong, USA, and beyond. Import duties and local taxes are the buyer's responsibility. Shipping costs are quoted with your order.

Q: What warranty applies?
A: AL 13 provides a structural warranty against manufacturing defects. Full warranty terms are provided at the time of order. The warranty does not cover road damage, improper installation, or cosmetic wear.

Wheel Care

To maintain the finish and structural condition of your AL 13 DB001 wheels:

• Cleaning: pH-neutral, non-abrasive wheel cleaner. Soft microfibre cloth or brush. Avoid acid-based products on powder coat or polished surfaces.
• Frequency: Clean every 1–2 weeks, or after any track use. Brake dust is mildly corrosive; do not allow it to dry on the wheel surface.
• Polished surfaces: Apply wheel sealant or metal polish every 3–6 months to maintain gloss and resist oxidation.
• Powder coat: Inspect annually for chips. Touch up promptly to prevent corrosion at exposed aluminium.
• Salt/winter driving: Rinse with clean water after every trip on salted roads. Salt in joints or on bare metal accelerates corrosion significantly.
• Torque check: Re-torque wheel nuts/bolts after the first 50–100 km post-installation and at every subsequent tyre change. Use vehicle manufacturer's specification.
• Off-vehicle storage: Store in a cool, dry, dark location. Tyre bags protect against UV degradation of the sidewall.
