AI Generated Custom Forged Wheels Design for SHM Afeela 2024 by Bête Noire Ver1.6

Custom Forged Wheels for Sony Honda Afeela -- Bete Noire Ver1.6

Electric vehicles expose the shortcomings of heavy wheels more ruthlessly than any combustion car. Regenerative braking loads the wheel hub in both directions -- accelerating and decelerating -- which means extra rotational inertia penalises you on every stop-start cycle. The Afeela's sophisticated energy management deserves wheels that work with the system, not against it.

The Ver1.6 takes a turbine-inspired approach, with curved spokes that direct airflow across the brake rotor. The design is directional -- left and right wheels are mirrored -- which creates a more purposeful look and marginal aerodynamic benefit. Brushed aluminium shows off the machining detail; satin black keeps things understated.

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 Ver1.6 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
• Satin black
• Brushed titanium
• Polished aluminium
• Custom RAL colour matching (any colour, applied with ceramic clear coat)

Frequently Asked Questions

Are directional wheels harder to maintain?
The left/right mirror design means you need to keep track of which wheel goes where during tyre changes. Otherwise, maintenance is identical to non-directional wheels.

Will these clear the Afeela's standard brake package?
Yes. The Ver1.6 is designed around the Afeela's factory brake dimensions with adequate clearance for the standard calipers and rotors.

Can the directional aero design really improve efficiency?
At motorway speeds, wheel aerodynamics account for a measurable portion of drag. The turbine spoke pattern reduces this, though the primary benefit remains the weight reduction from forged construction.
