The G-Class silhouette has not changed much in forty years, and the EQG keeps that tradition. What has changed is the powertrain, and with it the rules for choosing wheels. Electric motors deliver peak torque from zero rpm, loading the wheel hubs with forces that arrive faster than any turbocharged engine. Forged monoblock construction handles these loads with less material, which means less weight and longer range.
The Ver1.5 features a multi-directional mesh pattern that nods to the G-Class's military heritage. The interlocking struts create a net-like appearance that is both structurally efficient and visually distinctive. At 22 inches, the pattern has enough room to breathe. In olive drab or flat bronze, it becomes something genuinely different from the chrome wheels usually seen on G-Wagons.
| Bolt pattern | 5x130 |
| Recommended diameter | 20" or 22" |
| Width range | 9.5J front / 11J rear |
| Offset range | ET30 -- ET50 |
| Centre bore | 84.1 mm |
| Material | 6061-T6 forged aluminium |
| Weight | ~30% lighter than equivalent cast wheel |
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.

The Bete Noire Ver1.5 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.
Is the mesh pattern strong enough for the G-Class's weight?
Yes. The interlocking mesh is a structural design, not decorative. Each intersection point is a load-bearing node, and the overall pattern distributes forces more evenly than conventional spoke designs.
Can I get the olive drab finish in a matte clear coat?
Yes. We apply any RAL colour with your choice of gloss, satin, or matte ceramic clear coat.
Will these fit a standard G63 AMG as well?
Yes. The EQG and G63 share the 5x130 bolt pattern and 84.1 mm centre bore. Offset may vary slightly between models -- confirm your build with us before ordering.
