Product Spotlight: Icon Alloys Rebound Pro
The adage "Reinventing the wheel" is often an expression used as a joke because, well you don't fix what isn't broken! That has held true for automotive wheels since the first steel wheels came to fruition. However, there was one technology that came to aid in offroad applications and that was the beadlock! The technology of beadlocks allows for the rim to sandwich the bead of the tire between the rim and "ring" which in turn allows for lower tire pressures. Lower tire pressures aid in offroad situations by allowing a larger footprint aka more traction! beadlock wheels have been the industry standard for true off-road rigs for decades, that is, until the team at Icon Alloys created the Rebound Pro!
Any hardcore off-road enthusiast knows the numerous benefits that lower tire pressures offer such as improved ride quality and a larger contact patch for increased traction. However, low pressures also increase the risk of de-beading the tire during extreme side loads or aggressive driving. While traditional beadlock wheels address this issue by clamping the tire’s bead, they also need frequent maintenance, require specialty tools/parts, increase rotational mass, and are NOT legal for on-road use. 
The ICON Alloys REBOUND PRO with patented "InnerLock Technology" offers the best of both worlds by using a robust bead retention system to keep the tire bead secured to the wheel while also being fully DOT compliant. This provides confidence in knowing that your wheels are prepared to tackle whatever situation you encounter - on or off the beaten path. InnerLock is ready for any type of terrain and every single adventure.
During an accelerated R&D process ICON engineers subjected the REBOUND PRO to thousands of miles of real-world abuse throughout harsh and unforgiving environments. After on-vehicle testing was concluded, the REBOUND PRO was sent to an independent contractor for precise lab testing, specifically the FMVSS No.139 Tire Bead Unseat Resistance Test (modified to 10 psi). Results from multiple tests validated the effectiveness of ICON’s InnerLock technology by exceeding the mechanical limits of the machine (over 7600lbs load) without ever de-beading the tire.
Staying true to the ICON Alloys approach, the REBOUND PRO has been engineered to maximize caliper clearance and optimize wheel position for un-hindered suspension travel and steering function. Backspace and wheel offset dimensions have been strategically developed to reduce scrub radius, improving all-around handling and ride quality. The REBOUND PRO has also been strength tested to yield a 3,200lb load rating - making it one of the strongest wheel options on the market. With build features such as these, it's clear that a set of ICON Alloys REBOUND PRO wheels is the perfect complement to any truck, Jeep, or SUV.
We at 9AM are excited to offer the Icon Alloys Rebound Pro to our customers to increase the styling of their ride and increase the capabilities of their off-road experiences! Shop The Rebound Pro and all of the Icon Alloys line up at the link below!
