3SDM 0.50 SF

3SDM 0.50 SF - The Deep-Concave Five-Split-Spoke Flow Formed Wheel

Premium Caliper Clearance, Heavy Brushing, and CNC Cap Detail in 20-Inch Fitment

The 3SDM 0.50 SF represents a distinct chapter in the 3SDM design story — a wheel developed to open a new market segment with a broader size range and a heavier, more dramatic visual character than the brand's earlier 18-inch cast offerings. Available in 20-inch diameter with widths from 9.0 to 12.0 inches, the 0.50 SF covers applications ranging from executive saloons and grand tourers to performance SUVs and sports cars with Brembo-specification brake systems.

3SDM 0.50 SF Design: Five Split Spokes with Deep Concave

The 0.50's five-spoke layout uses split spokes — each of the five main spokes divides as it approaches the rim, creating a distinctive Y-profile at the outer section. This split design widens the visual coverage of each spoke while maintaining a comparatively open face, allowing brake system visibility and contributing to the deep concave appearance. The face carries heavy brushing on the machined surfaces, and the centre cap alone is produced through five separate manufacturing steps including CNC machining of the model number detail. Available exclusively in Satin Black Brushed Face.

3SDM 0.50 SF Technical Specifications

Construction: Spin forged (flow formed) monoblock. Material: Aluminum alloy. Available in 20-inch diameter across widths of 9.0, 10.0, 10.5, 11.0, 11.5, and 12.0 inches. PCD options include 5x112, 5x114.3, 5x120, and 5x130. Load rating: 815kg. The range of widths from 9.0 to 12.0 gives the 0.50 SF applicability from front axles of executive cars to staggered rear axles of large GT cars and American muscle platforms. The 5x130 option covers Porsche applications.

3SDM 0.50 SF Finish: Satin Black Brushed Face

The 0.50 SF's single finish — Satin Black with a Brushed Face — combines a dark base treatment with a directional brushing of the machined spoke surfaces, creating a texture that changes appearance under different lighting conditions. This is not a simple painted wheel: the brushing process creates a physical surface texture that catches and reflects light at varying angles, giving the wheel a more complex visual depth than a solid painted finish would achieve.

3SDM 0.50 SF Fitment and Caliper Clearance

The 0.50 SF was specifically designed to clear Brembo-style large brake systems — a key design criterion in the original brief. The wide range of available widths from 9.0 to 12.0 inches covers the staggered fitments demanded by the platforms for which it was designed. Front fitments at 9.0 inches suit Audi R8, Porsche 911 and Cayman, Maserati GranTurismo, Bentley Continental GT, and BMW M3, M4, and M5. Rear fitments at 11.0, 11.5, and 12.0 inches address the wider rear axle requirements of these same vehicles.

3SDM 0.50 SF Applications: GT and High-Performance Platforms

The 0.50 SF targets a different customer profile from 3SDM's 18-inch cast lineup. Where the 0.05 SF, 0.08, and 0.09 family address the VW Group, BMW compact, and Honda performance market, the 0.50 SF is positioned for larger, higher-performance vehicles: Aston Martin DB9 and DBS, McLaren 12C and 650S, Nissan GTR, Range Rover Sport and Vogue, Porsche 911 and Cayenne, Maserati Levante, and Bentley Flying Spur. The 5x130 Porsche bolt pattern option is a notable specification that opens the full Porsche range.

Ordering the 3SDM 0.50 SF

The 0.50 SF is stocked in Satin Black Brushed Face across the core width and PCD combinations. The 9.0-inch 5x112 option has the widest availability across offset configurations. The 12.0-inch width is the most aggressive option, designed specifically for extra-wide rear fitments on platforms such as the BMW M3 F3X series and Porsche 911 wide body. The 0.50 SF can be configured for applications covering a wide variety of GT, sports, and performance SUV platforms and not just the models listed above — specialist fitment guidance is available from 3SDM authorised distributors.
