AI Generated Custom Forged Wheels Design for New Electric G-class EQG 2024 by Bête Noire Ver1.1

Custom Forged Wheels for Mercedes EQG -- Bete Noire Ver1.1

The EQG takes the G-Class formula -- tall, heavy, unapologetically boxy -- and electrifies it. Four electric motors, a battery pack that weighs more than some entire cars, and a kerb weight north of three tonnes. In a vehicle this heavy, reducing unsprung mass is not a marginal gain. It is one of the few modifications that genuinely improves range, ride, and handling all at once.

The Bete Noire Ver1.1 for the EQG is a six-spoke design with brutally straight lines. No curves, no concavity -- just flat planes and sharp edges that mirror the G-Class's own bodywork philosophy. The spokes are wide enough to handle the loads of a three-tonne vehicle, and the square-cut lip adds visual weight. In matte black, it makes the EQG look like it was designed to work, not to pose.

Fitment Specifications

Reducing unsprung mass on an EV directly translates to longer range and more responsive handling. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the EQG's four motors handle the reduced rotational inertia?
The EQG's torque vectoring system adapts to wheel mass automatically. Lighter wheels actually improve the system's response accuracy, as each motor has less inertia to overcome when adjusting torque.

Will 22-inch wheels affect the EQG's off-road capability?
The taller sidewall on 20-inch wheels provides more off-road cushion. For owners who prioritise road use, 22-inch wheels improve steering precision and visual presence without compromising the EQG's ground clearance.

Are these wheels rated for the EQG's kerb weight?
Yes. The forged construction is load-rated for vehicles exceeding 3,000 kg. Each wheel is individually tested to ensure it meets the required safety margin.
