Icon wheels

[TheLion]

Anyone have experience with Icon wheels? I'm eyeballing the Rebound but don't know much about them and reviews online seem very hard to find.

I think there are a couple of guys on the Rims & Wheels thread that got those wheels. Do a search there.

They were my 2nd choice. Excellent looking wheels but I ended up liking the Fuel Offroad Beast more.

Also, this fella got a set:

Much appreciated! Your search fu is much stronger than mine!

I just happen to run across this guys channel a month ago. He's the reason I was considering the Rebound. They're great looking wheels, I just liked the Beast (with it's very slight bronze hue) more. Also, while the rebound and beast have the same back spacing, the Beast has -12mm of offset while the Rebound can only be had with -6mm. That will push the wheels out a bit and perhaps reduce the risk of rubbing. The Rebound is also 8.5in wide while the Beast is 9in wide. That isn't a huge difference but I think it'll put less stress on the bead of the 318/70R17s I'm getting.

I have the granite crystal so the titanium will match up closer to the body I think, at least I'm hoping.it has 4.5 inch of backspace which should clear me from rubbing. Having a xfactor 2.5 installed next month

Rebounds are definitely up there for most sexy wheels.
I also like the Fuel Anzas

I believe that both the Rebounds and Beasts you need different lugs....the stock lugs are too big. Right? If so, what lugs will fit either wheel?

I'm looking at my purchase order from Discount tire. These are the lugs they ordered:

Discount tire said they should have lugs that will work if stock are too big, which the video above confirmed.

I am also looking at wheels for my jl. I am considering a couple of wheels made by American eagle. They are made in usa. Has anyone used them?

Did you buy the Icon rebounds? And if so, from DTD and do you have any pictures of them mounted on your Jeep?

 

[TheLion]

I did order the rebounds. I will post pics when I get to work. I like them much more in person than the pics/video I saw.

As promised. I have 315/70/R17 KO2's on it, taking it to get lifted later this week so they won't be so stuffed in there.

Looks good! I’m between the Rebound and Alpha’s. Also can’t decide between satin black or titanium for my Sting Grey Rubi. Decisions decisions

Just another stupid opinion here but I think satin black would be the way to go on a Sting Gray Jeep. Titanium will be too close to the gray color but not a perfect match. Imagining it in my head, I think it'll look a bit odd. Granite is dark enough that Titanium offers a good contrast. Same with satin black on Sting Gray, you're looking for a good contrast to your primary color.

But as I've always said, it's your Jeep, do what you want and be happy with it.
