AI Generated Custom Forged Wheels Design for New Range Rover L 2024 by Bête Noire Ver1.6

Custom Forged Wheels for Range Rover L460 — Bete Noire Ver1.6

The fifth-generation Range Rover has the aerodynamic drag coefficient of a much smaller car, but the standard 22-inch cast wheels add rotational mass that blunts the effect of all that wind-tunnel work. Factory cast wheels on the L460 (MLA-Flex) platform weigh roughly 16-18 kg each. Replace them with forged monoblock rims and you bring that down to under 12 kg per corner. The difference is not just cosmetic — reduced unsprung mass means the air suspension responds more quickly, the ride becomes more composed, and the brakes work with less rotating inertia to overcome.

The Bete Noire Ver1.6 is a twelve-spoke design with a subtle diamond-cut face on each spoke, creating a play of light that shifts between bright and dark as the wheel turns. On a vehicle this size, wheel design matters more than on a small car. A poorly proportioned wheel makes a large SUV look ungainly. The Bete Noire Ver1.6 was developed specifically for the Range Rover's scale — the spoke width and concavity are calibrated to fill the wheel arch without making the rim look oversized or the tyre sidewall too thin. It works in gloss black for a stealth presence or brushed titanium for a more technical aesthetic. Either way, it pairs naturally with the Arden Ar9 Wide Body For Range Rover Vogue or a factory-spec vehicle.

Fitment Specifications

Large-diameter wheels on heavy vehicles are where forged construction pays the biggest dividends. A 22-inch or 23-inch cast wheel can weigh over 18 kg. The forged equivalent at the same size comes in significantly lighter, which directly improves the Range Rover's ride comfort and reduces strain on wheel bearings and suspension bushings over time. For background on why this matters, see our guide on forged vs flow-formed vs cast wheels.

How AI Wheel Design Works

The Bete Noire Ver1.6 is part of Hodoor's AI wheel design programme. The system generates over 1,000 unique wheel concepts per day, each engineered to be manufacturable as a forged monoblock. You are not selecting from a fixed catalogue — the AI produces designs tuned to a specific vehicle'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 work, our in-house designer takes over from hand sketches or reference images. Both routes lead 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
• Brushed titanium
• Polished aluminium
• Custom RAL colour matching (any colour, applied with ceramic clear coat)

Frequently Asked Questions

Will larger forged wheels affect the Range Rover's ride quality?
Lighter wheels generally improve ride quality because the suspension has less unsprung mass to manage. The Bete Noire Ver1.6 in forged 6061-T6 aluminium is significantly lighter than cast equivalents at the same diameter, so you gain the visual impact of a large wheel without the ride penalty.

Can I run these with winter tyres?
Yes. Forged 6061-T6 aluminium is more impact-resistant than cast aluminium due to its aligned grain structure. This makes forged wheels a better choice for rough winter roads and potholes. Contact us for winter-specific width and offset recommendations.

How does the ordering process work?
Email [email protected] with your vehicle details. We confirm fitment, you approve the design and finish, and production takes four to eight weeks. Each wheel is CNC-machined from a single forged billet. Learn more in our exclusive wheel upgrades guide.
