Default Anyone with Vossen HF-5's - Especially in Bronze?

I have a 2021 992 C2S in Jet Black Metallic. It came with black S wheels, but I'm kind of done with Black on Black for myself personally - In the past 30 years of sports cars, I've had ~5 of them that were black/black/black. It's totally a personal thing - I think it looks great overall, I'm just done with it myself.



While searching for new wheels, I was going for something that didn't stray too far from stock variants (for example, HRE's were out), but I did want something different. I wanted to stay more like a GT3 style spoked wheel, but I didn't want silver, black or bright gold.

I ended up ordering a set of Vossen HF-5's like these:


I'm wondering if anyone has the HF-5's, and especially if they have them in Bronze. Mine have arrived at the shop and are going on the car on the 6th.

I’ve been eyeing these wheels myself, they’re at a great price point. It’s why I’m considering going 5 lug on my GTS BUILD.

They have a similar wheel they can do in center lock, but then it’s $2k a wheel.

I would totally do 5 lug. Centerlocks are the worst. I hated my experience with them.

Would love to see how the car turned out with the wheels.

Black on bronze is going to look great! Looking forward to your pics once they're mounted!

There’s a 992 Carrera on their website with the HF-5 in bronze.

Where? Got a link?

The only one I could find was in their gallery here: https://vossenwheels.com/galleries/p...d-series-hf-5/ and here: https://vossenwheels.com/galleries/p...d-series-hf-5/

Those are both black (or what appear to be black)

I really like those. I wonder what would look best on agate? Silver, bronze or titanium?

Thanks for sharing. I was mostly wondering how dark the bronze will actually be, which is hard to tell from photos, but yours do a good job of giving a sense of them.

Funnily enough, I showed my wife and she goes "what's the difference to your car" - Sooo to her it's like getting a haircut - she won't notice

how long did these wheels take to come in after ordering? was the bronze finish an additional cost?

AFAIK, you won't find these in 992 fitment - not for months or years. HRE P101 is a very similar wheel which is available; several weeks out, but they can be ordered, at least.
