I bought these because of the reasonable price, Availability, street legal, and weight. They are harder to clean after wheeling and I am expecting the nuts to rust in salt season. I also had a time finding an installer. The local shops would not because of all the extra holes. Off road shops would only install if you bought it from them. Finally got them installed at Walmart but had to give them the tools to do it as they didn’t have the socket or torque wrench that would go that low. I prepped the 12 bolts with gasket lube and anti sieze as instructed. I am very happy with them so far and expect many years of use out of them.
After their first weekend of real wheeling they held up nicely. They are not afraid to rash though and only one had rock in the sidewall. Just be aware of that as well. I would easily buy them again.
Received replacement bolts a while back, they seem to be made of a different material. Looking forward to swapping out the ones that are rusting due to PA salt.
Hi Don, I'm doing some mods on my new Jeep and the workshop has highly recommended these wheels. Have you had any ongoing issues with them or have they truly been "set and forget" for you?
Thanks for this Casey, I do wonder how they would fair in the North though... Like many other things there is not the extremes down south like we get up here. One concern would be the temperature and the o-rings, -40 to +40 takes a toll on rubber like that. They still do look great though !!
Hey Icon, give us an inner and outer option please. I ran the Delta Titaniums and loved them. Inner and outer lock bolts and I'll be a Icon customer again
¿Es normal que pierdan presión? tengo un juego de estos aros y dos de los aros pierden presion, aproximadamente 2 libras por dia. las de atras solo 1 libra.
Sticking with my Teraflex Nomads for now. I would like Hutchinson Rock Monsters eventually. But if Icon made ones with inner and outer pins. Might be an option.
good design but IMO not for rock crawling without a rash ring. the wheel edge is a weak point, even when picking good lines the wheel edge can get damaged. why no machined option?
Generally its much less likely to push an inside bead off as it can have a higher lip as the tire doesnt need to be installed over it, but also things that unseat the bead tend to be coming from the outside of the tire (think rocks, logs etc)
Very difficult to pop the inside bead off, most beadlocks are built this way. Hutchinson is the big manufacturer that is dual locked but you have a much heavier wheel due to the rubber inner liner.
Color choice is Lacking - Only 3, Titanium, Bronze, Black. Also Not an option for a 17x9.. Looked at these for a while but because of those factors I chose Regular Beadlocks. If they could make these with a Beadlock LookAlike Ring, that might be cool. I passed on these.

You better go arrest the 1000's of vehicles in CA running Beadlocks. Actually know a few people that have been pulled over, the beadlock was never questioned. But to each their own.
@@5ohJ depends on how and where you wheel i suppose. If snow wheeling in the low single digits the inner beed will burp air without even driving anywhere. Ask me how i know.
I have put 10,000 miles on these rims on and off-road and love them. I would highly recommend them

Interesting to hear your experience trying to get them installed.
I spoke to ICON at EJS, they confirmed the surface rust issue was resolved (only affected tops of the bolts), the new pins won't rust.
After their first weekend of real wheeling they held up nicely. They are not afraid to rash though and only one had rock in the sidewall. Just be aware of that as well. I would easily buy them again.

Bought five of these bad boys about a year ago. I typically do 12psi, but can do 6-7 without any worries. VERY light, strong, and brilliant design,
Sweet!

@@FourLowAdventures never had a problem. Well, except that the East Coast salt caused some surface rust on the pins. Easily removed.
@Don Montalvo Awesome, thanks for the info!
I have these on my Gladiator and love them!
These are my wheels! But in bronze. I love them. On 33" Nitto Trail Grapplers on a 2019 Tacoma TRD Off Road.
These recently got brought up in an FB group I’m in I’ll have to share it in and glad you were able to educate us! Thank you!
Your welcome :)
We have these and love them! Have had them about 7 months now and haven't had any issues
2:00 excellent answer!! Love this, these look promising
Thanks for this Casey, I do wonder how they would fair in the North though... Like many other things there is not the extremes down south like we get up here. One concern would be the temperature and the o-rings, -40 to +40 takes a toll on rubber like that. They still do look great though !!
Thats true. And contraction in cold. Id like to test a set out
Just ordered mine. I cannot believe how many shops have never even heard of these wheels.
Would definitely consider these in the future, looking to save some weight.
Hey Icon, give us an inner and outer option please. I ran the Delta Titaniums and loved them. Inner and outer lock bolts and I'll be a Icon customer again
Thanks for the info. I've seen these before but never really heard how thet really worked until now.
Already ordered and will be testing them this season in BC
I like these. Was going to get them, but availability wasn't there at the time, so got me some Fuels
Very good design nice to see innovative products
Mine showed up yesterday, got the black ones. Tires will be here Friday. 👍
At 6:04 he said all 6 lug bolt patterns are covered. No 6x4.5 (6x114.3) available on the website. Nissan gets screwed over again.
D.O.T "Compliant" or "Approved?" Is there a DOT stamp on these rims?
¿Es normal que pierdan presión?
tengo un juego de estos aros y dos de los aros pierden presion, aproximadamente 2 libras por dia. las de atras solo 1 libra.
If they come out with better backspacing like 3.5inch for 6 on 5.5 lug pattern in 17x8 I would buy a set.
I want these rims one day when I can afford to upgrade
Sticking with my Teraflex Nomads for now. I would like Hutchinson Rock Monsters eventually. But if Icon made ones with inner and outer pins. Might be an option.
good design but IMO not for rock crawling without a rash ring. the wheel edge is a weak point, even when picking good lines the wheel edge can get damaged.
why no machined option?
I agree w this. I got a set and rashed all of em my first time out lol. wish I would’ve wrapped em in vinyl at least but it’s too late now.
I wish they'd sell them in 5x150 Bronze or make them soon!
I have a set of these mounted and balanced, just waiting for me to put them on my 392
Ooo 392 😍
that is what i have on my jeep.
Just curious, but is there a reason I never see the inner bead mechanically locked?
Generally its much less likely to push an inside bead off as it can have a higher lip as the tire doesnt need to be installed over it, but also things that unseat the bead tend to be coming from the outside of the tire (think rocks, logs etc)
My worry is that on running low air pressure like for snow wheeling you could roll the tire sidewall over a bolt and puncture it from the inside
They run 6 lbs rock crawling never rolled a bead or punctured a tire from videosive watched
What's this good for if there's no bead lock on the rear of the rim?
If you were going to roll a bead it’s going to be on the outside of the room not the inside
Very difficult to pop the inside bead off, most beadlocks are built this way. Hutchinson is the big manufacturer that is dual locked but you have a much heavier wheel due to the rubber inner liner.
How do they prevent the air from leaking past the bolt threads?
sealant and o rings
Yep

Yeah ICON if you’re reading this I want a rash ring bc I scratch my wheels up bad. Need that ring
They had a rash ring protoype on their jeep. I just didn't film it because they didn't like this prototype and wanted to change it.
The website doesn't say what the offset is for the Wrangler wheel. If it is 0 I don't want it.
It's -6. I have them on my Gladiator and love them.
.____. when are these available for purchase??? I need 5!!!!
They’ve been available for almost a year already
New? Icon launched the Rebound in October 2017
These are the pro with Innerlock.
These was released at Easter jeep safari last year
I think the aev beadlock wheels are also dot approved
For standard configuration they are, same as the Mopar ones. When you mount to the actual beadlock it’s not dot compliant.
@@KTMcaptain they are if your state allows 2 piece rims because they are dot approved in either configuration,beadlock or standard. A lot of states do not allow 2 piece rims and in those states they are not approved.

So...score me some free ones. 🤣
PEOPLE OF CA. BEAD LOCK IS NOT LEGAL IN CA??? IF CAUGHT IMPOUND OF TRUCK OR JEEP, OR? FOR 30 DAYS AND RETURN TRUCK WITHOUT THE RIMS?
Technically, Beadlocks aren't DOT compliant. DOT doesn't exist in CA. It's MOT in CA.
You better go arrest the 1000's of vehicles in CA running Beadlocks. Actually know a few people that have been pulled over, the beadlock was never questioned. But to each their own.
Ask the judge I did
Y’all should clarify:
CA = Canada
CA = California
I’m guessing you’re referring to Canada on this comment…
These are DOT approved, so they're legal.
I'll stick with the Rock Monsters. DOT approved and no tire mounting machine required.
Probably what is going on my new rig
I like it…but i cant believe they didnt make it a double beadlock design!!?
You are very unlikely to roll a bead on the inside of the wheel
@@5ohJ depends on how and where you wheel i suppose. If snow wheeling in the low single digits the inner beed will burp air without even driving anywhere. Ask me how i know.
This is nothing new… it’s been in Motorsport for years
10 psi...........................ummmm snow wheeling with beadlocks is down to 1psi at times pending conditions.
Ooooooooooo!
hutchinson Beadlocks are dot approved they are a little heavy but legal Enjoy
