I'll be honest... They were not my cup of tea in the beginning. But I like them now a lot.
Yes. I saw that. IMSMR they used PVC, right?
Yeah I think it's one of those things you start admiring more as time passes, it builds on ya.
Just ordered a set of the black and gun metal Six Speeds with 285/70/r17 on Monday. Can't wait to put them on. Discount Tire called Icon for me and assured me they had deeper caps for them...we'll see I guess. I can update this when I get them installed. Otherwise I'll probably be doing the PVC thing too lol
Keep us posted on the caps...
These are the only ones I could find.

Can't wait for the pics!!
I just spoke to Mario over at KingsChariot and what an absolute legend of a guy, I'm so glad I made that call. He confirmed Compressions and I think Rebounds will clear the front hubs without spacers, he reckons they used spacers for Vector 5s. He mentioned using longer screws up front to fit the caps but I don't see a screw application in the pic or am I missing something?

Ok - So after two weeks of incorrectly ordered finish and shipping issues with my wheels from Icon, I finally had them installed at Discount Tire today. Below is the before and after - definitely makes my LX look less "Grandpa headed to the country club" and much more "GTFO my way, I'm about to wheel in Luxury". Very happy with the results...

Some things to note:
- Caps do not fit on the front hubs (I knew this was a chance, even though ICON claimed they had this fixed. They don't). I have access to a nice 3D printer, so I'll probably make a couple spacers and call it good - or leave them off - I don't know
- New rubber = BFG KO2 285/70/R17; Old rubber = Michellin Defender 275/60/R18
- Sand Dollar Pearl + Gun Metal Icon Six Speed wheels = OBJECTIVELY the best combo of fit and finish on a 100-series, as you can see.

That looks GREAT, big change! No more mint juleps at the country club for pops! 
Mate, loving the outcome! Glad you got everything sorted out, I thought it's just me with those shipping gremlins acting up.
My 285 75 17's have been sitting at the shop since last Monday with just 2 of the wheels (same as yours) while they (not Icon, but the parent company to 4WP) lost the trailer which had the remaining 3 of the package plus 600K worth of other parts. So about 1000 phone calls later they finally located the trailer, it had been dropped off at the wrong shipping dock apparently and got sent back to the main distribution center in Compton. Today, they've shipped out a new set from AZ and I've been promised it will be there by Thursday. So here I am driving around with a helmet in addition to a face mask to save myself the embarrassment from the rig looking like this.......
About the spacers, would you mind printing an extra set for buddy up here if you end up doing it? I'll take care of the cost + shipping plus a case of your favorite beer
Mate, just 2 for the front would be good enough. I'll update here once the wheels go on, fingers crossed!
Cheers
Ok - for those interested...I'm printing one of these right now to test fitment. Will try and fit it up (at least to the cap) sometime tomorrow or Thursday.
This will allow you to use longer screws on the back side of the cap if you want to, or just line up the tabs and glue the cap to the top.
So screw, or glue, or some combination of both...

Mate, did you end up testing em? I got my wheels finally and would love a pair if you have em.
Cheers!

Hey guys. I can run a bunch of spacers on the cnc if you want. It would be way faster than printing them. I don't have a 100 so you'd have to send the specs or files.
Looking good! Would you mind posting a few more pics of wheels from different angles? Trying to see the poke and such, and how the tire fits on the rim. Also, you’re running 285/75R17 on the 17 x 8.5 icons with 25mm offset right?
