AL13 Wheels: Luxurious American Forged Excellence at TAG Motorsports


AL13 Wheels — Proudly Forged in California
Founded in 2012 in Los Angeles, AL13 Wheels has quickly emerged as a leading name in luxury and performance wheels. What sets AL13 apart is their in-house manufacturing facility in Brea, California, where they design, engineer, and finish every wheel from start to shine.
Their tagline—“Your New Favorite Wheel Brand.™”—reflects the attention to detail, advanced machining techniques, and bespoke finishes that define the brand.
Precision Engineering & In-House Manufacturing
At the heart of AL13’s promise lies meticulous craftsmanship and rigorous quality control:
-
Every wheel begins as a 6061-T6 aerospace-grade forgery, delivering unmatched strength and structural integrity without welding or porosity.
-
Each design undergoes Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to optimize for durability, weight reduction, and performance.
-
The wheels are sculpted via lathe turning, removing up to 70% of material to create dramatic concave profiles, then finished through advanced CNC milling and precision hand polishing.
-
AL13's strict runout standards—0.007", far below the industry average of 0.030"—ensure smooth, vibration-free performance even at high speeds.
-
Finishing options include brush or high-luster ceramic polish with transparent powder coats sourced from Brisbane, Tokyo, and Hamburg for exceptional visual fidelity.
AL13 Collections & Customization
AL13’s portfolio blends design innovation with functional elegance:
-
