Daring to Be Different

In automotive culture, the three-spoke wheel has always occupied a special place.

It breaks from convention, demands attention, and reflects a deliberate decision to stand apart. Where five-spoke and multi-spoke wheels are often chosen for familiarity, the TRI-SPOKE embraces a more rebellious and minimalist design language.

HSV’s exploration of the three-spoke format resulted in one of the most visually distinctive styles ever associated with an Australian performance car.

Motorsport Roots

Three-spoke wheels have deep roots in motorsport, where the format was valued for one key reason: weight reduction.

Fewer spokes mean less material, and less material means:

  • Reduced unsprung weight
  • Improved handling response
  • Better braking performance
  • Quicker acceleration

This is why the three-spoke format became associated with no-compromise engineering and performance-focused applications.

Bold Minimalism

The TRI-SPOKE creates a huge amount of negative space between the spokes, giving it a look that is both simple and aggressive.

This open design offers several advantages:

  • Maximum brake visibility
  • Clear display of upgraded calipers and rotors
  • A muscular, substantial appearance despite low weight

Because only three spokes carry the structural load, each spoke must be wider and stronger. This gives the wheel real visual presence and makes it feel powerful rather than delicate.

A Wheel for the Individualist

The TRI-SPOKE is not a design that fades into the background.

It makes a very deliberate statement about the driver and the build:

  • Different from mainstream trends
  • More focused on individuality
  • Confident in its simplicity

For some, that makes it divisive. For the right owner, that is exactly the appeal.

Fusion Forged Strength

Panthera’s TRI-SPOKE uses Fusion Forged construction, which is particularly valuable in a design where each spoke carries a greater proportion of the total load.

The forging process improves material strength and consistency, resulting in:

  • Better structural integrity
  • Reduced weight compared to conventional cast construction
  • Improved durability in real-world driving

This allows the TRI-SPOKE to deliver on both its visual promise and its engineering purpose.
