Modder Brings Real-World AL13 FC010 Forged Wheels to GTA V

The AL13 FC010 that sits on six-figure supercars in the real world now has a home in Los Santos. Modder davidbaach published a high-poly wheel replace model on April 6, faithfully recreating the FC010 from AL13 Wheels, the American performance brand that CNC-machines every set at its facility in Brea, California from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 forged aluminum.

The real-world 010 Series is not an easy wheel to replicate convincingly. Its defining geometry, a full elongated-spoke design that runs all the way to the lip fringe with a deep concave profile, is exactly what collapses into visual mush when rendered at low polygon counts. davidbaach leads with the polygon and vertex figures directly on the mod page, a signal that the geometry is documented and holds up where it needs to. The upload ships in two variants: a paint version for body-matched or custom-color finishes, and a chrome version for builds where reflectivity is the point.

In-game, the deep concave profile reads most convincingly on vehicles with factory-wide bodywork, where there is enough arch clearance for the dish to breathe. The elongated spokes and lip fringe detail are most visible from low-angle showcase shots and close-proximity traffic, less so at standard gameplay camera distances. Whether that detail justifies the polygon budget depends on what you are building. For a cinematic car pack or a FiveM server storefront render, it earns every triangle. For a vehicle meant to run across a populated server with active scripts, the draw call cost on lower-end hardware is a real consideration. davidbaach flags this directly in the release notes: a low-poly LOD alternative should accompany any combined pack, either generated by the pack author or supplied separately.

Fitment is where most modders will spend the most time. The real-world 010 Series ships in 18- to 24-inch diameters and 8- to 13-inch widths, covering the full range of supercar and hypercar sizes. In GTA V terms, that means verifying rim size scaling in the vehicle meta files before publishing. A wheel scaled for a Zentorno-class arch will clip through tighter bodywork, and caliper alignment is entirely dependent on how the source vehicle's brake geometry was authored originally. Test in isolation before committing to a combined pack release.

On finish selection, the chrome variant earns its place on dark or monochrome builds where the reflective surface adds contrast. On white or silver cars, chrome washes out and loses definition; the paint version gives full finish control and typically photographs better under the game's overcast lighting conditions.

The model credits Thiagod3sign as the original 3D source creator. Installation follows the standard DLC workflow: add the wheel name to carcols.meta and wire it into the DLC manifest. davidbaach points to the WB Pack Wheels add-on framework for batch integration, which cuts per-wheel setup time significantly when building a larger release.

AL13's Design Monoblock range set a manufacturing benchmark in 2018 as one of the first forged monoblock wheels offered in quarter-inch sizing increments. That level of precision finding its way into GTA V's modding pipeline, geometry-accurate and documented for DLC integration, marks a clear shift in what the community considers baseline visual fidelity for add-on vehicles.
