How is the AL13 C020 three-piece different from the C020 monoblock?

The design is the same, but the construction differs. The monoblock is machined from one piece of forged aluminum. The AL13 C020 three-piece bolts a forged center to 6061 T6 aluminum rim halves, so width and offset can be set independently over a much wider range. That modular build also lets damaged components be replaced individually, and it adds the choice of hidden or exposed assembly hardware.

Is the three-piece C020 a good choice for a widebody car?

Yes. The modular rim halves allow widths from 6" to 16" and offsets that a one-piece wheel can’t always reach, which is what widebody fenders usually need. A narrow-body car can run the same design with a tighter, flush fitment. Front and rear widths are specified separately, so staggered setups of any width split are easy to build.

Can parts of a three-piece wheel be replaced if it’s damaged?

Yes. That’s one of the main advantages of a multi-piece wheel. If a rim half is curbed or bent, that component can be replaced instead of the whole wheel. On a forged wheel built to a custom spec, that can save time and money after a curb strike. Contact us directly if you need a replacement component for an existing AL13 C020 three-piece.

Should I choose hidden or exposed hardware?

It comes down to looks. Hidden hardware gives the AL13 C020 a cleaner face, so the mesh is the main focus. Exposed Grade 5 titanium hardware shows a ring of bolts around the rim for a classic motorsport look and weighs less than steel hardware. Exposed titanium comes in PVD Black, Raw Titanium, or Burnt Titanium to match or contrast with the wheel finish.

What’s the difference between a true center-lock and a Center Lock Style Cap?

A true center-lock wheel is built for a center-lock hub and mounts with a single central nut. A Center Lock Style Cap goes on a standard 5-lug or 6-lug wheel. A forged billet lug cover hides the lugs, and the cap press-fits over it to give the same look. The C020 three-piece is available either way.

Can I order a color that isn’t on the finish list?

Yes. Custom colors can be requested beyond the Standard, Transparent, and Special Colors listed. Paint Matching is also available to match your vehicle’s exact body color, and 2-Tone finishing can pair brushed or polished face edges with a solid color. Contact us directly with the color you have in mind and we’ll confirm it with AL13 before your spec is finalized.

AL13 C Series C020 Three-Piece Wheel

The AL13 C020 brings back the simple, bold mesh, a design that looks right on everything from a classic coupe to a late-model SUV. AL13 pairs that heritage look with modern machining, and the result has become one of its most popular wheels worldwide.

The Ultimate in Customization & Fitment

AL13’s 3-piece wheels are modular, so size, width, and offset can all be set independently, which makes them a strong fit for both narrow-body and widebody builds.

Hardware Options

The assembly hardware on AL13 3-piece wheels can be hidden or exposed. Upgrading to exposed Grade 5 titanium hardware puts the bolts on display around the rim, gives the wheel a motorsport look, and saves a little unsprung weight compared with steel hardware. The titanium comes in PVD Black, Raw Titanium, or Burnt Titanium.

Center-Cap Options

AL13 offers three main center cap styles; the 1-Piece Cap, the Center Lock Style Cap, and the Multi-Piece Cap. Multi-Piece Caps are available with a twill carbon or forged carbon background in matte or gloss, or without carbon for a simpler look. The premium cap finishes put a transparent powder coat over a brushed or polished base so the machined detail shows through. Each piece of the cap can be finished in gloss, satin, or textured to match the wheel or contrast with it.
- 1-Piece Cap: The AL13 Standard Wheel Cap is machined from a single piece of forged billet on a 3-axis CNC mill, which gives it sharp edges and a smooth surface. It can be painted any color to match the wheel or to add a contrasting accent. For a little more detail, the AL13 logos can be upgraded with a solid color fill that picks up the wheel, the paint, or the interior trim.
- OEM Center-Cap Detail: With the AL13 OEM Center-Cap Detail, the center of the wheel is machined to accept your factory cap from Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and other makes. You get AL13’s forged construction, custom fitment, and finish options, and the badge the car left the factory with stays in the middle of the wheel.
- Floater Cap Lug Covers: If you already have OEM floater caps, AL13 Floater Cap Lug Covers let you keep running them. The cover fits over the lug nuts and holds your floater cap, which stays upright as the wheel turns, just as it did on the factory wheel. You get the AL13 wheel with the floater caps you already have.
- Floater Cap: The AL13 Floater Cap is weighted to stay upright, so the AL13 logo stays level whether the wheel is turning or still. Lug covers are included to hide the lug nuts and give the cap a clean mounting point, which makes for a finished center at a stop and at speed.
- 3-Piece Cap: The AL13 Premium Upgraded 3-Piece Wheel Cap is built in layers, and each layer can be specified separately. The background can be real twill carbon fiber or forged carbon fiber in satin or gloss to match the carbon on the car, or it can be left without carbon for a cleaner face. The bezel and the top center piece each take their own color, so one can match the calipers and the other the paint. The cap is assembled with Grade 5 titanium fasteners in Black Titanium, Natural Silver Titanium, Gold Titanium, or Burnt Titanium. The bolts are right at the center of the wheel, so their finish matters too.
- 3-Piece Floater Cap: The AL13 3-Piece Floater Cap combines the layered build of the 3-piece cap with a self-righting center, so the logo stays level as the wheel turns. It comes with real carbon fiber logos and titanium bolts, and the bolts can be ordered in several finishes. It suits owners who want the detail of a multi-piece cap and also want the logo to stay level.
- Center-Lock Style Cap: AL13 Center Lock Style Caps give a 5-lug or 6-lug wheel the look of a center lock. A CNC-milled forged billet lug cover hides the lugs, and the cap mounts over it. This lets AL13 offer designs normally limited to true center lock hubs on far more vehicles. The cap uses AL13’s proprietary three-piece design and press-fits in place instead of threading, so the logo always stays centered and lined up with the spokes. The bezel and the top center piece are colored separately. The background can be real twill carbon fiber or forged carbon fiber in satin or gloss, or it can be left without carbon. An optional OEM cap detail accepts your factory Ferrari, Lamborghini, or McLaren emblem, so you get the center lock look with the factory badge in the middle.

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
