The Vossen S17-04 Wheel stands as one of the most refined forged monoblock designs in Vossen’s lineup. Part of the Series 17 collection, it blends precision manufacturing with creative freedom, allowing each customer to shape a wheel that fits both their performance goals and visual preferences. The wheel shown on a Mercedes-Benz E-Class by 503 Motoring is one example of the design’s adaptability, but every S17-04 ordered through Bulletproof Automotive is built specifically for its intended vehicle.
Each S17-04 begins as a solid block of aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminum before it’s shaped and finished in-house at Vossen’s TÜV Verified Miami facility. The result is a wheel engineered for exact balance, minimal weight, and long-term durability. Vossen’s process maintains full control from forging to final inspection, guaranteeing that every wheel meets the company’s strict design and quality standards.
The Vossen S17-04 Wheel’s monoblock construction offers the strength needed for high-performance applications while keeping rotational mass low. Every wheel is machined to match a specific bolt pattern, offset, and width, ensuring a precise fit that complements the car’s geometry and handling.
Vossen’s proprietary forging technique also enables a wide range of concave profiles. Even narrower wheels can achieve the same depth typically reserved for much wider setups, creating an aggressive yet balanced stance. By measuring over one hundred data points for each vehicle, Vossen ensures every wheel achieves a fitment that feels intentional rather than universal.
Every Vossen S17-04 Wheel passes through a detailed finishing process that blends advanced equipment with traditional craftsmanship. After machining, each wheel is hand-sanded and deburred before entering a seven-stage pre-treatment cleansing process. This step removes impurities and ensures the powder coat bonds evenly for maximum durability.
Vossen S17-04 Wheel finishes are available in a wide range of solid and transparent colors. Solid options such as Battleship Grey, Bronze, Pewter, and Black offer a classic aesthetic, while transparent finishes like Brickell Bronze, Flamingo Pink, Deco Teal, and Champagne highlight the brushed metal beneath the surface. Vossen’s finishing team applies multiple textures and sheen options: gloss, satin, matte, or textured, to achieve the desired tone and depth.
The brushed and polished finishes are performed by hand, often taking up to five hours per wheel. It’s a process that reveals the character of the aluminum itself, creating a surface that reflects craftsmanship in every line. After coating, each wheel undergoes a final inspection using a film thickness gauge to verify uniformity before being cleaned and packaged.
Vossen extends customization beyond color and finish. The S17-04 can be ordered with forged billet or floating center caps, optional lightening pockets, and personalized engraving. Vehicle-specific machining, centerlock compatibility, and OEM-style fastener options further refine the fit. Every wheel is built to integrate seamlessly, both mechanically and visually, with the vehicle it’s designed for.
Because the process is entirely in-house, quality control never leaves Vossen’s hands. This ensures that each set of Vossen S17-04 Wheels arrives as a matched piece of functional art, ready to install and perform without compromise.
