Strip away the chrome trim and the leather interior and the Tahoe is, at its core, a truck. It shares its ladder frame with the Silverado, its 6.2-litre V8 with the Corvette's ancestor engines, and its DNA with decades of American workhorses. The B-te Noire Ver1.2 respects that lineage. It is a directional-spoke forged monoblock wheel that looks muscular rather than decorative -- the kind of wheel that suggests the vehicle wearing it can tow a boat on Friday and park at a restaurant on Saturday without changing a thing.
The directional spoke pattern sweeps clockwise from the hub, creating a turbine-like visual motion even when stationary. Each spoke is thicker at the hub and tapers toward the rim, a structural choice that concentrates material where stress is highest and removes it where it is not needed. The result is a wheel machined from 6061-T6 forged aluminium that is substantially lighter than any cast wheel of equivalent size, without compromising load ratings suitable for the Tahoe's gross vehicle weight.

| Material | 6061-T6 forged aluminium |
| Weight | ~30% lighter than equivalent cast wheel |
Because the Ver1.2 uses a directional spoke pattern, it is supplied as a left-side / right-side set to ensure the sweep direction is correct on each corner. This attention to detail is part of what separates bespoke forged wheels from mass-produced alternatives. For more on choosing the right wheel size for your Tahoe, see our sizing guide.
The Ver1.2 emerged from Hodoor's AI wheel design programme, which produces over 1,000 unique concepts daily. Every design is validated for forged monoblock manufacturability before presentation. The design phase is complimentary -- costs begin only when a design enters CNC production.
Does the directional pattern mean I need to buy specific left and right wheels?
Yes. The Ver1.2 is sold as a matched set of four -- two left-sweep and two right-sweep wheels. This ensures the directional pattern flows correctly on both sides of the vehicle. Tyre rotation is still possible front-to-rear on the same side.
Can I tow with forged wheels?
Absolutely. Forged 6061-T6 aluminium has higher yield strength than cast, making it better suited to the sustained loads of towing. The Ver1.2 is engineered to handle the Tahoe's full tow rating. For more technical detail, see our forged wheel performance guide.
What tyres pair best with 22-inch wheels on the Tahoe?
A 285/45R22 is the most common fitment for 22-inch wheels on the Tahoe. It maintains close-to-stock ride height and speedometer accuracy while providing adequate sidewall for comfort. For 24-inch wheels, a 305/35R24 works well. Contact us for specific tyre recommendations.
