The Lexus GX sits in a rare market position: body-on-frame construction, serious off-road hardware, and a cabin that would not look out of place in an S-Class. Most aftermarket wheels for the GX fall into either the off-road camp -- chunky, utilitarian, forgettable -- or the luxury camp, with delicate designs that look nervous on a truck platform. The B-te Noire Ver1.6 refuses to choose. Its cross-spoke pattern is architectural in character, with intersecting elements that create a geometric lattice across the wheel face. The effect is bold without being aggressive, refined without being fragile.
Each crossing point in the spoke pattern adds structural reinforcement, making the Ver1.6 one of the stiffest designs in the GX range. That stiffness translates to more precise steering feel and better load distribution -- practical benefits on a vehicle that may carry five passengers, their luggage, and tow a trailer. The forged 6061-T6 construction means this structural advantage comes with less weight, not more. A set of four Ver1.6 wheels can save over 12 kg of unsprung mass compared to factory cast alternatives.
| Bolt pattern | 6x139.7 |
| Recommended diameter | 18" -- 22" |
| Width range | 9J -- 10J |
| Offset range | ET15 -- ET30 |
| Centre bore | 106.1 mm |
| Material | 6061-T6 forged aluminium |
| Weight | ~30% lighter than equivalent cast wheel |
For GX owners who split time between highway cruising and unsealed roads, the 20-inch diameter with a 275/55R20 tyre strikes the best balance. For those prioritising ground clearance and off-road capability, 18 inches with a 265/65R18 all-terrain tyre is the way to go. Our wheel sizing guide helps navigate these choices.
Hodoor's AI wheel design system produced the Ver1.6 as part of its continuous output of vehicle-specific concepts. Every design is validated for structural integrity and manufacturability as a forged monoblock before being presented. The design phase costs nothing -- production begins only when you give the go-ahead.
Is the cross-spoke pattern harder to clean than simpler designs?
The intersecting spokes create more surface area, but the open gaps between them are large enough for a standard wheel brush. It requires marginally more effort than a five-spoke wheel but far less than a tight mesh design.
Can I use these wheels with all-terrain or mud-terrain tyres?
Yes. The 9J to 10J width range accommodates popular AT and MT tyre sizes. The forged construction also handles the additional lateral stress that knobby tyre treads can place on the rim bead. See our forged vs cast guide for durability comparisons.
Will the Ver1.6 fit with aftermarket suspension lifts?
Most GX lift kits up to 3 inches work fine with the standard offset range. Lifts beyond 3 inches may require different offsets -- email [email protected] with your suspension specs for confirmation.
