The HRE 517 belongs to the Vintage Series — a collection designed to channel the purposeful, iconic wheel aesthetics of 1970s and '80s motorsport. Its deep-section 5-spoke architecture delivers a clean, race-ready look that pairs naturally with classic and modern sports cars, exotic GTs, performance sedans, and SUVs alike. Every curve and cutout on the back of the wheel reflects deliberate material removal, preserving structural integrity while shedding unsprung mass for sharper handling response.
Each 517 is CNC machined to your vehicle's exact specifications from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 forged aluminum, delivering an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Standard backpad pocketing minimizes rotational inertia, ARP high-strength stainless-steel fasteners (with optional titanium hardware) hold everything together, and OE TPMS and lug hardware compatibility keeps the fitment straightforward. The wheel is available in Rolled Lip or Flange Lip profiles, and SUV load ratings are offered in 20"–24" diameters. Every HRE forged order placed through TFS includes up to $1,000 in credit toward tires, additional wheels, or accessories.
Finish options are extensive: choose from 13 standard solid colors or explore 61 optional transparent colors — available over brushed, polished, stone, or frozen metal surfaces — for a depth and character that solid finishes simply can't replicate. Fully custom colors are available on request. An optional billet aluminum hex nut cap is available in most HRE powder coat colors, and an OEM Porsche cap bore option is offered for purists (aluminum cap not included). Backed by HRE's Lifetime Limited Structural Warranty and a 2-Year Finish Warranty, and proudly Made in the USA.
