The HRE 517K belongs to the Vintage Series, a collection designed to channel the bold, purposeful wheel aesthetics of 1970s and '80s sports and race cars. The 517K's deep-section 5-spoke architecture delivers a clean, race-derived look that works equally well on classic Porsches, modern exotic GTs, performance sedans, and capable SUVs or off-roaders — wherever a heritage-inspired design is the right statement.
Built in the USA from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 forged aluminum, every 517K is CNC machined to your exact application in a 3-piece construction. Standard backpad pocketing reduces unsprung mass and rotational inertia, while ARP high-strength stainless-steel fasteners (with optional titanium hardware) hold everything together with confidence. 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 the purist — specify your preference at the time of order. Every 517K ships OE TPMS and lug hardware compatible.
Choose from 13 standard solid finishes or explore optional transparent colors applied over brushed, polished, stone, or frozen metal surfaces for a truly individual look. Fully custom color requests are also available. Available in 17" and 18" diameters, priced from $3,350 per wheel. Every forged order at TFS Wheels includes up to $1,000 in credit toward tires, other wheels, or accessories.
