AI Generated Custom Forged Wheels Design for New Range Rover L 2024 by Bête Noire Ver1.4

Custom Forged Wheels for Range Rover L460 -- B-te Noire Ver 1.4

The Range Rover L460 rides on air suspension that isolates its occupants from the world. But even the best air springs cannot fully compensate for heavy cast wheels -- the dampers still have to control that unsprung mass over every bump and expansion joint.

The latest Range Rover is the most refined full-size SUV ever built. Its air suspension, active roll stabilisation, and noise cancellation create an almost supernaturally smooth ride. But the factory wheel options, while handsome, are generic -- shared across tens of thousands of identical vehicles. Custom forged wheels change the equation entirely. The Range Rover weighs enough that factory cast wheels -- typically 16-18 kg each -- make the suspension work harder than it needs to. Switching to forged monoblock rims at around ~12 kg per wheel gives the air suspension and dampers less unsprung mass to manage, improving ride comfort and body control simultaneously.

The B-te Noire Ver 1.4 takes a more assertive approach than the Ver 1.2 -- split spokes with a stepped surface that creates a three-dimensional effect. Each spoke pair frames a deep channel, and the overall impression is of something engineered rather than styled. In matte gunmetal or satin bronze, it transforms the Range Rover from stately to sporting without losing any of the original car's visual authority.

Fitment Specifications

The weight saving from forged aluminium is not just a number on a spec sheet. Reducing unsprung mass by 16-18 to ~12 kg per wheel means the suspension and brakes work more efficiently at every speed. If you are considering improving ride quality and presence, 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 1.4 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 Range Rover'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

Frequently Asked Questions

Will these wheels work with the Range Rover's air suspension and active roll control?
Yes. Reducing unsprung mass by 16-24 kg total actually improves air suspension response. The system adapts more quickly when it has less wheel mass to control. Both 21" and 23" options are fully compatible with all ride-height settings.

Can I fit these on the Range Rover Sport or Defender?
The Range Rover Sport shares the 5x120 bolt pattern and 72.6 mm centre bore, so these wheels fit directly. The Defender uses 5x120 as well but with different offset requirements -- contact us to confirm fitment for Defender models.

What sizes work best for the long-wheelbase model?
The LWB Range Rover looks best on 22" or 23" wheels. For 23": 285/40R23 is the standard fitment. For 22": 285/45R22 provides a slightly cushier ride. Our wheel sizing guide covers all options.
