AI Generated Custom Forged Wheels Design for Ferrari 296 GTB by Bête Noire Ver1.1

Custom Forged Wheels for Ferrari 296 GTB -- Bete Noire Ver1.1

Ferrari's Assetto Fiorano package for the 296 GTB already saves weight with carbon fibre and titanium. But even in Fiorano spec, the wheels remain heavier than they need to be. A full set of forged aftermarket rims removes around 8-10 kg of unsprung mass from the car. On a machine this light and this powerful, the difference is felt immediately -- faster direction changes, sharper brake pedal feel, and less rotational inertia slowing the hybrid system's responses.

The Ver1.1 takes a more traditional approach with a seven-spoke pattern that echoes Ferrari's own racing wheel heritage. The spokes are slightly wider than you might expect, providing the stiffness needed for the 296's brutal hybrid torque delivery. The concave profile is moderate -- enough depth to look serious, not so much that it appears aftermarket. Rosso Corsa body colour with brushed titanium wheels is the combination that works.

Fitment Specifications

The weight saving from forged aluminium improves turn-in, reduces brake fade, and sharpens throttle response. If you are considering an upgrade from cast or flow-formed wheels, our forged vs cast wheels guide explains the engineering differences in detail.

How AI Wheel Design Works

The Bete Noire Ver1.1 is part of Hodoor's AI wheel design programme. The system generates thousands of unique wheel concepts, each one engineered to be manufacturable as a forged monoblock. You are not choosing from a static catalogue -- the AI produces designs tuned to a specific car's dimensions, brake clearances, and visual character. The design phase is free. You only pay when a concept moves into production.

If none of the AI-generated options hit the mark, our in-house designer works from hand sketches. Either route leads to the same CNC-machined 6061-T6 billet, the same balancing and inspection process, and the same four-to-eight-week production timeline. More detail on the manufacturing process is covered in our forged wheel performance guide.

Available Finishes

• Gloss black
• Satin black
• Brushed titanium
• Polished aluminium
• Custom RAL colour matching (any colour, applied with ceramic clear coat)

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the seven-spoke design compatible with the Assetto Fiorano package?
Yes. The Fiorano package uses the same bolt pattern, centre bore, and brake hardware. The Ver1.1 clears the Fiorano's carbon-ceramic rotors with room to spare.

What tyre sizes work with the Ver1.1 on the 296?
Standard fitment is 245/35R20 front and 305/30R20 rear, matching Ferrari's recommended sizes. We confirm exact sizing before production.

Can the design be modified to match my car's specification?
Yes. Spoke width, concavity, and lip profile can all be adjusted within structural limits. Send us your requirements and we will produce updated renders before committing to production.
