AI Generated Custom Forged Wheels Design for SHM Afeela 2024 by Bête Noire Ver1.5

Custom Forged Wheels for Sony Honda Afeela -- Bete Noire Ver1.5

Reducing unsprung mass on an EV is the closest thing to a free upgrade. No software reflash, no battery swap, no motor modification. Just four lighter wheels and the car rides better, brakes shorter, and stretches its charge further. The Afeela responds to this change more than most, because its chassis was calibrated for the kind of precision that heavy wheels quietly undermine.

The Ver1.5 features a mesh-style design with interlocking geometric elements that reference circuit board traces -- a nod to the Afeela's computing-first identity. Despite the intricate pattern, the structural ribs are thick enough for forged monoblock production. In dark bronze or satin gunmetal, the detail work catches light without being ostentatious.

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 Ver1.5 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.

Available Finishes

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the mesh pattern structurally sound for daily driving?
Absolutely. Despite the intricate appearance, the mesh elements are full-depth forged ribs engineered to exceed OEM load ratings. This is not a cast replica -- every element carries structural load.

Will these wheels work with aftermarket suspension on the Afeela?
Yes. The bolt pattern, centre bore, and offset range are matched to the Afeela's hub assembly regardless of suspension modifications. Lowered cars may need adjusted offsets, which we can accommodate.

What is the weight difference compared to factory wheels?
Expect approximately 25-30% weight reduction per wheel compared to the Afeela's factory cast rims, depending on the specific diameter and width ordered.
