AI Generated Custom Forged Wheels Design for SHM Afeela 2024 by Bête Noire Ver1.1

Custom Forged Wheels for Sony Honda Afeela -- Bete Noire Ver1.1

Range anxiety is mostly a battery problem, but unsprung weight makes it worse. A set of forged wheels on the Sony Honda Afeela can recover 3-5% of the efficiency lost to heavy cast rims, which on a long motorway run translates to real extra kilometres before your next charging stop. That is not marketing -- it is physics.

The Ver1.1 is the most restrained design in the Afeela collection. Five broad spokes, minimal concavity, clean transitions from hub to lip. It is a wheel that does not try to be noticed, which suits the Afeela's philosophy of technology that stays in the background. Works best in polished aluminium or a custom colour-matched finish.

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.

Available Finishes

• Gloss black

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the simple five-spoke design as strong as more complex patterns?
Stronger, typically. Fewer spokes means each one can be thicker and more structurally efficient. The Ver1.1's spoke cross-section is optimised via FEA to handle the Afeela's weight with a comfortable safety margin.

What tyre sizes work with 21-inch wheels on the Afeela?
The standard fitment is 255/35R21 front and 285/30R21 rear. We confirm exact sizing based on your specific vehicle configuration before production.

How long does production take?
Four to eight weeks from design approval to delivery, depending on finish complexity. Custom RAL colours add approximately one week.
