I’ve had the Icon Vector 5 wheels on my 200 for about 4 years, and they have held up really well considering the usage. For a significant portion of the miles, the 200 has been used by camera crews, support staff, students, and others who often weren’t the most cautious about tire placement, and the wheels have taken quite a lot of abuse with no issues at all. A couple of valve stems have been dinged pretty good and needed to be replaced, but even those incidents weren’t bad enough to address immediately. Considering how well they’ve worked for offset, weight, strength, style, and price point, I have been very happy.

Same with mine. I have put mine through some abuse and think the offset is just perfect for a 200. I also like how they are not crazy expensive. Don’t feel so bad replacing one if need be.
 
I really want these wheels, but what is this about lug nuts? What, exactly, do I need to get? What is the largest size tire (BFG KO2) I can fit on stock 2013 LX? Discount Tires says they don't fit my truck. I don't need any kind of spacer? Thanks.
 
are these the TITANIUM color?

 
Adding another case of a cracked vector 5. Wheels have seen minimal mild/light offroad use. I've had them on the cruiser for about 20k miles. I just happened to notice today so I have no idea how long it's been like this. I would obviously recommend everyone take a look at theirs. It seems like I may have been driving on this for thousands of miles at this point but I'm assuming this calls for immediate replacement? Any thoughts are appreciated.

Damn. Warranty?
 
Damn. Warranty?
Submitted a warranty claim yesterday. To Icon's credit, I received a response in under an hour and only needed to provide a couple pictures. They've put in an order and will be shipping me a new wheel.

Additionally, from customer service: "I wouldn't worry about this being a recurring issue, more than likely it was a bad pour on that mold from the factory for that specific wheel." Take that for what you will.

Despite the frustration of a parts failure, so far, their customer service in this instance has been as good as I could have hoped for.
 
I ended up moving on from these wheels, even though the look is great and the offset is perfect. It just didn't sit well with me seeing wheels crack and having my Icon Suspension fail after under 20k miles.

What did you get?
