AI Generated Custom Forged Wheels Design for SHM Afeela 2024 by Bête Noire Ver1.3

Custom Forged Wheels for Sony Honda Afeela -- B-te Noire Ver 1.3

The Sony Honda Afeela is not just another electric sedan -- it is a rolling technology platform built by a consumer electronics giant and an automaker, and every component on the car should reflect that ambition.

Every kilogram of unsprung weight on an EV directly affects range, regenerative braking efficiency, and ride quality. The Afeela's battery pack already adds considerable mass to the chassis -- keeping the corners light is the single most effective upgrade you can make. With dual-motor AWD electric powertrain with approximately 480 hp, the Sony Honda Afeela already has more than enough power. What it needs is efficiency at the corners -- lighter wheels mean less energy wasted accelerating rotating mass, better regenerative braking response, and a noticeable improvement in how the car rides over broken surfaces.

The B-te Noire Ver 1.3 was designed to complement the Afeela's smooth, sensor-laden bodywork. Where most aftermarket wheels shout, this one speaks in measured tones -- slim, blade-like spokes with subtle concavity and clean machined faces that echo the Afeela's minimalist design language. It looks like it could have come from Sony's own design studio.

Fitment Specifications

The weight saving from forged aluminium is not just a number on a spec sheet. Reducing unsprung mass by 13-14 to ~9.5 kg per wheel means the motors, suspension, and regenerative braking work more efficiently at every speed. If you are considering maximising range and handling precision, this is where to start. More on the differences in our Forged For Performance A Guide To Exclusive Wheel And Tire Upgrades.

How AI Wheel Design Works

The B-te Noire Ver 1.3 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 the Sony Honda Afeela's specific dimensions, brake clearances, and visual proportions.

If none of the AI-generated options are quite right, 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.

Available Finishes

• Gloss black
• Satin black

Frequently Asked Questions

How much range improvement can I expect from switching to forged wheels?
Real-world data from similar-weight EVs shows a 2-4% range improvement when reducing unsprung mass by 12-15 kg total. On the Afeela's estimated 480 km range, that translates to roughly 10-20 km of additional driving per charge.

Are these wheels compatible with the Afeela's sensor suite and aerodynamic covers?
Yes. The B-te Noire Ver1.3 spoke geometry has been designed to avoid interference with the Afeela's wheel-arch sensors. The open spoke design also improves brake cooling compared to the stock aero covers.

Can I run winter tyres on these forged wheels?
Forged 6061-T6 aluminium handles cold temperatures and road salt better than cast alternatives. The aligned grain structure resists cracking from pothole impacts in cold weather. Pair with 255/40R21 winter tyres for optimal performance.
