Vossen Wheels 23×12 5-130 +15 HF-5 Wheel in Gloss Black

By pushing the limits of conventional casting techniques, the Hybrid Forged Series pioneers the use of flow forming technology, achieving remarkable weight reductions while enhancing strength. This innovative process revolutionizes the manufacturing approach and allows for a versatile range of wheel widths across all designs.

Introducing the HF-5 Wheel, the latest addition to Vossen’s prestigious Hybrid Forged Series, which takes inspiration from its forged counterpart, the S21-01. Featuring sleek pocketed spokes and a captivating Y-pattern, the HF-5 Wheel offers a selection of 2 standard finishes and customizable finishes, giving customers the opportunity to personalize their choice according to their individual preferences.

The Flow Forming Process

• The process begins by securely attaching the wheel-shaped mold to the rotating flow forming machine, initiating a meticulously planned heating procedure. Precise and controlled pressure is then applied to the barrel using hydraulic rollers, facilitating the gradual expansion of the wheel. Diligent techniques involving stretching and compressing are carefully employed to manipulate and adjust the material, achieving the desired width with exceptional precision. By extending the barrel material, the grain formation of aluminum is optimized, resulting in a final composition that closely resembles a wheel produced in a factory. This advanced process not only effectively reduces weight but also enhances the structural integrity, resulting in a wheel that is lighter and more resilient in its construction.

About Vossen Wheels

Their Factory

• Vossen has taken the lead in the advancement of forged wheels, proudly establishing itself as one of the few companies capable of constructing these components entirely in-house. Situated in the vibrant city of Miami, Florida, their state-of-the-art facility houses a range of cutting-edge machinery. After three years of extensive research, the facility has received TUV Verification, validating its high standards and exceptional capabilities.

Design

• The Vossen Forged Precision Series sets itself apart from competitors by eschewing conventional and simplistic machining techniques that prioritize output optimization. Instead, Vossen Forged Precision Series upholds its commitment to preserving exclusive and intricate details, refusing to compromise them in favor of enhanced manufacturability.

Engineering

• Achieving exceptionally precise installations involves gathering measurements from over a hundred distinct points on the vehicle. These measurements are then incorporated into computer-assisted design models, which undergo thorough assessment using Finite Element Analysis (FEA). This meticulous process ensures adherence to SAE and TUV standards while preserving the optimal contour of the components.

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only.

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at [email protected] with any inquiries.
