-
Extensive series selection, each with unique styles and features
Â
Step 1: Determine Which AL13 Wheel Series Matches Your Style
AL13 offers 10 distinct wheel series, each with a unique design aesthetic and special features:
- RS Series

- Carbon Series
- R Series
- R Aero Series
- S Series
- LUX Series

-

Spend some time browsing the styles and features of each series to find the look that best fits your vehicle and personality. Whether you want a bold, aggressive stance or a sleek, understated elegance, AL13 has a wheel that can match your vision. See all AL13 Wheels here.

Step 2: Choose Your Wheel Configuration
Some AL13 wheels come in multiple configurations to fit your preferences for performance, aesthetics, and budget:
|
|
|
1-Piece Mono |
2-Piece Duo |
3-Piece |
1-Piece Mono Configuration
The 1-piece mono wheels are forged monoblock designs that provide a lightweight, high-performance upgrade from OEM wheels. Ideal for those seeking improved ride quality and performance with a simpler construction, these wheels are engineered specifically for your vehicle and provide an OEM-style fit and finish.
2-Piece Duo Configuration
The 2-piece Duo is a revolutionary monoblock construction that combines the benefits of 3-piece versatility with the performance and ride quality of a one-piece wheel. This "Duo-Block" design is forged from lightweight aluminum and offers an engineered-to-order alternative to traditional forged monoblocks. It can be ordered with either full hidden or exposed hardware, giving you style flexibility.
3-Piece Configuration (Flagship)
3-piece wheels offer maximum customization, allowing you to select different finishes for the center, lip, and barrel. They also provide versatility in fitment, making them a favorite among serious enthusiasts.
Â
Step 3: Select Your Wheel Diameter and Width
Next, choose the diameter and width of your AL13 wheels. Many luxury and performance vehicles have staggered wheel setups, meaning the front and rear wheels differ in size.
For example, a stock 2021 McLaren 720S has:
- Front (2): 19" Diameter x 9" Width
-
Rear (2): 20" Diameter x 11" Width
If this is the case for your vehicle, you’ll need to add two (2) of each size to your cart, before checking out.
It’s crucial to verify your vehicle’s exact wheel specifications before ordering to ensure proper fitment and performance. Refer to your owner’s manual or contact us if you need assistance identifying the correct sizes.
Â
Step 4: Choose Your Bolt Pattern or Center Lock Option
AL13 wheels offer options for bolt pattern or center lock configurations depending on your vehicle.
- Bolt Pattern: Choose the exact bolt pattern matching your vehicle’s hub for a secure and perfect fit. 5 and 6 bolt options are typically available.
-
Center Lock: For high-performance cars like Lamborghini and Porsche, which utilize center locks, AL13 offers a center lock wheel option that allows for faster wheel changes and a sleek, race-inspired look.
Selecting the correct option is vital for compatibility and performance.
Â
Step 5: Decide on Your Offset (If You Know It)
If you have a specific offset in mind, you can enter it during the ordering process.
However, if you’re unsure, we strongly recommend leaving the offset blank. AL13 engineers will custom-build your wheels to the exact specifications required for your vehicle make and model, ensuring optimal fitment and handling.
Â
Step 6: Select Your Finish Options
AL13 offers a variety of finish options to customize the look of your wheels. These fall into two categories:
Solid Finish Examples |
|
Transparent Finish Examples |
|
- Solid Finishes: Standard finishes with no additional cost, such as gloss black or matte silver.
-
Transparent Finishes: Premium finishes that add depth and complexity, such as transparent gold or blue, which usually incur an additional cost.
Depending on the wheel series, you may be able to customize the finish for different parts of the wheel separately, including the center, lip, and barrel. Consult the Finish Options tab for visual examples and details.
Â
Step 7: Pick Your Hardware Style
Hardware options affect the visible bolts or screws near the lip of your wheels. Not all options are available on every series:
|
|
|
Hidden Hardware |
Exposed 50/50 Hardware |
Exposed Hardware |
- Hidden Hardware: Bolts are concealed from outside view for a clean, seamless look.
- Exposed 50/50 Hardware: Half the bolts are hidden, and half are visible, offering a unique balance between style and detail.
-
Exposed Hardware: Bolts are fully visible for a more industrial and aggressive aesthetic.
Your choice of hardware will influence the final appearance of your custom AL13 wheels.
Â
Step 8: Choose Your Cap Option
AL13 offers multiple cap options to complete your wheel’s look:
- 1-Piece Cap: Simple and classic design.
- 3-Piece Cap: Features a carbon logo and titanium bolts for a premium aftermarket look.
- OEM Cap Detail: Caps styled to match your vehicle’s manufacturer (e.g., Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche) for a factory-inspired appearance.
-
Center Lock Style Cap with Lug Plate: Available for center lock wheels, combining function and style.
Decide whether you want your wheels to stand out with premium caps or maintain an understated OEM appearance.
Â
