  We analyse the lensing images by dynamically robust rotating (mini-)Proca
stars surrounded by thin accretion disks. Due to their peculiar geodesic
structure we show that these images exhibit striking similarities with the ones
of BHs, for appropriately chosen disk intensity profile, when imposing a
GRMHD-motivated emission cut off. Additionally, and unlike the non-rotating
case, these similarities prevail even when considering equatorial observations.
This example illustrates how a horizonless compact object without light rings,
with a plausible formation mechanism and dynamically robust, could mimic
detailed features of black hole imagiology.
