ICON Wheels: Rebound vs Vector 5s

[HoffCruiser]

I'm looking to change out of my 0 offset Method 305s and into something more flush with the fenders. I'm 99% going to get a set of ICONs (+25), but I wanted to see if what the consensus is on the Rebound vs the Vectors, and if I should lean more heavily one way or the other. I like the look of both and my primary use for 200 is daily driving with minimal to seldom off road use; so, I definitely don't need anything super technical like the Rebound pros with the inner-lock screws.

Appreciate the feedback.

Glad to hear you are dumping the +0. Smart move. I really wanted some gorgeous +0 wheels, but after staying up lots of nights reading @TeCKis300 - i learned why the +0 is not right for this platform.

You can see tons of the wheel photos here 200 Series Tire and Wheel Size Database - https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/200-series-tire-and-wheel-size-database.818686/page-145#post-15816316

I personally like the Vector as the Rebound fake bolt look isn't my cup of tea

The Vector has spokes that are flush with the rim. This makes them ripe for trail strikes. The Rebound has a faux ring that dishes the spokes inside. Aside from that it's aesthetics.

FWIW, I have the Rebound on one truck and Compression on the other. The Compression is double-black and I really like the look of the black faux bolts and gloss ring.

The Methods will up for sale/trade whenever I do choose. I'd love to see some pictures of the titanium ones on the grey 200s.

I think I found exactly what I am looking for. Thanks for the advice.

good choice

Do 17’s Vectors fit with no issue? TireRack doesn’t seem to allow the combo in their package build.

 

[HoffCruiser]

Icon 17” wheels fit with no issues. Same with methods if you’re leaning that way. I found a set of rebound pro’s in 17” that I’m loving so far.

Saw this today, looked really good. I'm leaning towards black vectors on my 16' blizzard but these rebounds looked great in person. Looked like no lift, running 285/70-17

I considered Icons but they are kinda heavy. 17" versions were 30+ lbs whereas the Method MR705's I got came in around 25. Not that it is the end of the world, but something to consider.

 

[HoffCruiser]

yeah, idk how much of a difference those small lbs make. Especially since most 285/70 and 285/75s are north of 60lbs each. I'm going to try to go from a E to a C load next and see how that feels. The toyo ATIIIs come in 285/75/17s C load.

I really like the Vectors. They were what I was aiming at but then a buddy got me a deal and I ended up with the Recon Pros. Just showing you a third option.

 

[HoffCruiser]

That’s pretty much how I ended up with the rebound pros. Icon doesn’t make a bad looking 17” wheel.

What size tires are those? How heavy are they?

285/75/17 I want to say, I can’t remember now. Heavy as hell. They are the falken Wildpeak ATW4 in a C class. I want to say 62lbs

Nice. I’m running the same size. The coopers stay under 60, which is pretty good for a c load. Gonna try the toyos next. They’re also under 60 in that size.

Toyos are my next one to try too. I had Nitto Ridge Graplers. I really liked them but they wore down super fast. I think I got maybe 30k out of them. AT4 is quieter and smoother but so far seems to be a little worse in ice. Rain they seem fantastic.

I've had three sets of AT3W in three different sizes on different vehicles and now I'm running the AT4W on Leonard (16 570). I can't say that the AT4W performs any worse on white roads than the AT3W. Where I live there's snow on the ground from Halloween to Easter and I cross the Cascade range 50+ times per year. A good percentage of my annual miles are on snow/ice.

The one thing I'm really happy with on the AT4 is the availability in a Load C. This tire turns in to butter at 22psi. A deflated AT3W isn't bad, but I'm really happy with the Load C choice.
