ICON Alloys Recon SLX 17x8.5 6x135 +6mm Satin Black Wheel

The ICON Alloys Recon SLX is a 17×8.5 aluminum alloy wheel in a Satin Black finish, built around a 16-spoke concave design with application-specific offset and backspace dimensions engineered to reduce scrub radius, maximize caliper clearance, and support unhindered suspension travel. This listing is for the 6×135 bolt pattern, 6mm offset, 5-inch backspace configuration.

Engineered Dimensions, Not Just Styled Ones

The Recon SLX's 6mm offset and 5-inch backspace are developed specifically to place the wheel at a position that reduces scrub radius. A lower scrub radius means steering inputs translate more directly and predictably, with less kickback over rough terrain and less tendency to follow ruts. Buyers who run ICON Vehicle Dynamics suspension will find the Recon SLX's geometry developed with that system in mind, though the wheel is not exclusive to it.

Caliper Clearance Built In

The Recon SLX is engineered to maximize caliper clearance, which matters when running larger aftermarket brake components or when an existing wheel sits uncomfortably close to a caliper under suspension compression. The smooth, boltless lip and concave spoke profile contribute to this clearance without requiring spacers that would otherwise alter the intended offset geometry.

Aluminum Alloy Construction and Load Rating

The Recon SLX is constructed from aluminum alloy and carries a 3,200 lb load rating per wheel. Aluminum alloy construction reduces unsprung weight and rotating mass compared to heavier steel alternatives, improving both on-road handling response and off-road suspension compliance, where the wheel and tire must follow terrain changes quickly.

Features

• 16-spoke concave design: smooth, boltless lip with ICON Alloys embossed center cap
• Application-specific offset and backspace: 6mm offset, 5-inch backspace engineered to reduce scrub radius and optimize wheel position
• Caliper clearance optimization: spoke and lip geometry developed to maximize clearance for brake components
• 3,200 lb load rating: aluminum alloy construction rated for off-road use
• Reduced unsprung weight: aluminum alloy construction lowers rotating mass versus steel

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Recon SLX in this configuration suits trucks and SUVs with a 6×135 bolt pattern where the buyer wants application-specific offset geometry, caliper clearance headroom, and reduced unsprung weight, particularly builds running ICON Vehicle Dynamics suspension components.

This listing is for one wheel only; a full set requires purchasing the appropriate quantity. The Recon SLX is also available in a Charcoal finish and in other bolt-pattern, offset, and backspace configurations; this listing covers the 6×135, 6mm offset, 5-inch backspace, Satin Black variant only. California residents: this product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth anomalies, or other reproductive harm (Proposition 65). Professional mounting and balancing with an appropriately sized tire is recommended before installation.

Common Questions

Is this listing for one wheel or a set of four?

This listing is for a single ICON Alloys Recon SLX wheel. Buyers who need a full set should add the required quantity to their cart. Confirm the bolt pattern, offset, and backspace match their specific vehicle before ordering.

What bolt pattern does this Recon SLX fit?

This configuration of the ICON Alloys Recon SLX uses a 6×135 bolt pattern. ICON Alloys offers the Recon SLX in additional bolt patterns and offset configurations; verify this listing's specs match the vehicle's hub before purchasing.

What is the load rating, and is it suitable for off-road use?

The ICON Alloys Recon SLX carries a 3,200 lb load rating per wheel. The aluminum alloy construction is rated for off-road use, and ICON Alloys states the material provides strength properties suited to that application.

Does the Recon SLX require a spacer to clear brake calipers?

The Recon SLX is engineered specifically to maximize caliper clearance at its stated offset and backspace dimensions, with the intent of avoiding the need for spacers that would alter the wheel's designed geometry. Buyers should verify clearance for their specific brake setup.

Is a center cap included?

The ICON Alloys Recon SLX features an ICON Alloys embossed cap as part of its design. Whether the cap ships with the wheel or is sold separately is not confirmed in the available product data; contact TerrainVault before ordering if cap inclusion is a deciding factor.
