ICON Alloys Recon SLX 18x9 8x170 +6mm Charcoal Wheel

The ICON Alloys Recon SLX is an 18x9 aluminum alloy wheel in Charcoal finish, built for trucks running an 8x170 bolt pattern, with a 4,000 lb load rating, +6mm offset, and 5.25" backspace engineered to reduce scrub radius and maximize caliper clearance. The Recon SLX is sold individually and is also available in Satin Black.

Shipping: ICON parts ship direct from ICON Vehicle Dynamics, mostly by UPS Ground. Lead times vary by part and some items are built to order, so please allow extra time. We email tracking as soon as your order ships.

Designed Around How the Wheel Actually Works

The Recon SLX's +6mm offset and 5.25" backspace are application-specific dimensions developed to reduce scrub radius, which tightens steering response and smooths out the feedback a driver feels through the wheel on rough terrain. Caliper clearance is maximized so the wheel seats properly around larger brake hardware without modification. For trucks already running ICON Vehicle Dynamics suspension, the Recon SLX's wheel position is optimized to allow full suspension travel and unobstructed steering function.

Aluminum Construction at 4,000 lb Load Rating

The Recon SLX is built from aluminum alloy, which reduces unsprung weight and rotating mass compared to heavier wheel materials. Lower unsprung weight means the suspension can respond faster to surface changes, improving traction and ride quality both on pavement and off-road. The 4,000 lb load rating provides the structural margin needed for loaded trucks and off-road use.

Concave 16-Spoke Design with Smooth Boltless Lip

The Recon SLX carries a concave 16-spoke face with a smooth, boltless lip and a cleaner profile than spoked designs that use visible hardware at the rim edge. An ICON Alloys embossed center cap completes the face. The Charcoal finish is one of two available colorways for this model.

Features

• 16-spoke concave face: smooth, boltless lip and embossed ICON Alloys center cap
• Application-specific offset and backspace: +6mm offset and 5.25" backspace reduce scrub radius and optimize wheel position
• Caliper clearance: engineered to clear larger brake hardware without modification
• 4,000 lb load rating: aluminum alloy construction rated for loaded trucks and off-road conditions
• Reduced unsprung weight: aluminum alloy lowers rotating mass for improved suspension response

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Recon SLX in this configuration suits truck owners running an 8x170 bolt pattern who want an application-specific wheel with optimized offset and backspace for improved handling and caliper clearance, particularly those pairing wheels with ICON Vehicle Dynamics suspension systems.

This listing is for a single wheel in Charcoal finish only; Satin Black is a separate listing. The 8x170 bolt pattern limits fitment to vehicles with that specific bolt pattern. Confirm your truck's bolt pattern before ordering. Professional mounting and balancing by a qualified installer is recommended before putting the wheel on the vehicle.

Common Questions

What bolt pattern does this wheel fit?

The ICON Alloys Recon SLX in this listing has an 8x170 bolt pattern. Verify your truck's bolt pattern matches before ordering, as this wheel will not fit vehicles with a different bolt pattern such as 8x165.1 or 8x180.

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

This listing is for a single ICON Alloys Recon SLX wheel. Order the quantity needed for your build: four for a full set, one for a spare.

What is the load rating?

The ICON Alloys Recon SLX carries a 4,000 lb load rating per wheel, making it suitable for loaded trucks and off-road use where structural margin matters.

Does the wheel come with a center cap?

The Recon SLX includes an ICON Alloys embossed center cap as part of the wheel's design. Confirm what is included in the box at time of order if a cap is critical to your build.

Is professional installation required?

Professional mounting and balancing of an appropriately sized tire is recommended before installing the Recon SLX on the vehicle. This is standard practice for any aftermarket wheel to ensure safe and accurate fitment.
