AI Generated Custom Forged Wheels Design for Polestar 1 by Bête Noire Ver1.3

Custom Forged Wheels for Polestar 1 -- Bete Noire Ver1.3

The Polestar 1 was always a strange, wonderful machine -- a 619 hp hybrid grand tourer built in limited numbers, with a carbon fibre body bonded to a Volvo SPA platform. It carries a 34 kWh battery, an overboost-capable four-cylinder, and the kind of kerb weight that makes every gram of unsprung mass matter more than usual. Swapping the factory cast wheels for a set of forged monoblocks is one of the most efficient upgrades available: it sharpens the car without changing its character.

The Bete Noire Ver1.3 is a Y-spoke design featuring three pairs of Y-shaped spokes arranged symmetrically around a sculpted centre cap. The negative space between the spokes is carefully calculated to maximise brake cooling. 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 Ver1.3 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.
