AI Generated Custom Forged Wheels Design for Polestar 1 by Bête Noire Ver1.4

Custom Forged Wheels for Polestar 1 -- Bete Noire Ver1.4

Polestar built just 1,500 examples of the Polestar 1, and each one left the factory wearing wheels that were adequate but unremarkable. For a car with 619 hp and a 34 kWh battery pack, the stock cast rims are heavier than they need to be. Reducing unsprung mass with forged wheels gives the hybrid drivetrain less dead weight to rotate, improving both the electric-only range and the sharpness of the chassis.

The Bete Noire Ver1.4 is a mesh-pattern design featuring a tight mesh of crossed spokes inspired by classic motorsport designs, re-interpreted for modern proportions. The mesh density increases toward the rim barrel, creating a gradient effect that draws the eye outward. It was created through Hodoor's AI wheel design programme, which generates thousands of unique wheel concepts daily, each one engineered for manufacturability as a forged monoblock. The result is a wheel that looks like it was drawn by hand but is backed by computational analysis of spoke stress distribution, brake clearance, and aerodynamic efficiency.

Fitment Specifications

On an EV like the Polestar 1, the weight saving from forged wheels has a compounding effect. Lighter rotating mass means the electric motors draw less energy per kilometre, the regenerative braking system recovers energy more efficiently, and the suspension has less unsprung weight to control over imperfections. If you are considering an upgrade from the factory cast wheels, our forged vs cast wheels comparison explains the engineering differences in detail.

How AI Wheel Design Works

The Bete Noire Ver1.4 is part of Hodoor's AI-driven design pipeline. The system produces over 1,000 unique wheel concepts per day, each one validated for structural integrity and manufacturability as a CNC-machined forged monoblock. You are not selecting from a fixed catalogue -- the AI generates designs calibrated to a specific car's dimensions, brake clearances, and visual proportions. The design phase is free. You only commit financially when a concept moves into production.

If the AI-generated options do not match your vision, our in-house designer can work from sketches or reference images. Both routes lead to the same 6061-T6 billet, the same precision CNC machining, the same balancing and inspection process, and the same four-to-eight-week production timeline.

Available Finishes

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the 5x108 bolt pattern the same as Volvo's?
Yes. The Polestar 1 shares Volvo's 5x108 bolt pattern and 63.4 mm centre bore. These wheels are a direct fit without adapters or spacers.

Will forged wheels void my Polestar warranty?
Fitting aftermarket wheels does not void the vehicle warranty, provided the wheels meet the manufacturer's load rating and dimensional specifications. All our forged wheels exceed OEM load ratings.

Can I use these for track days?
The forged 6061-T6 construction is significantly more impact-resistant and fatigue-resistant than cast alternatives. Many track-day enthusiasts prefer forged monoblocks precisely because they handle kerb strikes and sustained heat better. See our performance wheel upgrade guide for more detail.
