ICON Vehicle Dynamics is known for their suspension systems and shock absorbers, but did you know they also have wheels? ICON Alloys was established with an objective to provide the off-road market quality wheels built with precision, performance, and strength in mind. Time after time in the development of suspension components the ICON R&D team ran into clearance, fitment, and steering geometry issues that limited the drivability and performance of a given vehicle. As this trend continued, the idea of manufacturing a line of wheels with the “form follows function” approach made more and more sense.
ICON Alloys is proud to announce the release of their first wheel for the Crossover (CUV) market, the ‘RICOCHET‘. The 15×7″ Ricochet features a modern, rally-inspired 12 spoke design that is strong, lightweight, and optimizes wheel position for the fitment of larger and more aggressive tires. These 15×7″ wheels are available in the popular 5×100 bolt pattern with a 4.60″ backspace (+15mm offset) and weigh in at just under 20 pounds (whaat?!?). The Ricochet yields a beefy load rating of 1800-lbs and comes in an all-new Gloss Gold finish, as well as a classic Satin Black offering.In traditional ICON Alloys fashion, the new 15×7″ Ricochet wheel has not only been engineered to enhance the overall look of your vehicle but the handling and performance as well. With looks and build features such as these, it’s clear that a set of ICON Alloys ‘Ricochet’ wheels is the perfect addition to your CUV.
