Oakley Wheel House

A Fresh Square Shape Built on Oakley's Best Engineering
Wheel House brings a smooth, deep square silhouette to the market, drawing subtle design details from two of Oakley's best-selling frames: Pitchman and Pitchman R. The result is a classic, confident shape that pairs a refined lifestyle aesthetic with the same performance-grade materials Oakley is known for worldwide.
O Matter Frame: Lightweight Durability from Day One
The frame is built from Oakley's proprietary O Matter, a stress-resistant nylon blend that stays lightweight across long wear sessions while absorbing the minor impacts of everyday life. It resists warping from heat and UV exposure, keeping the fit geometry intact season after season. Stainless steel temples add rigidity along the arm without adding weight, and Unobtainium earsocks at the tips increase grip as perspiration builds so the frame stays put during active use.
Hollowpoint Hinge: Precision Mechanism, Minimal Profile
The Hollowpoint hinge is the signature structural detail of the Wheel House. It uses a self-contained spring cam mechanism and an internal piston housed inside the hinge body, allowing the temple to flex outward and return under controlled tension without any visible spring hardware. The mechanism is entirely internal, producing a clean, minimalist look on the frame exterior while delivering the same reliable spring action that has made Hollowpoint one of Oakley's most popular hinge designs across multiple frames.
Prizm Lens Technology: Enhanced Color and Contrast
Wheel House is offered with Oakley Prizm lens technology. Prizm lenses are engineered to amplify specific wavelengths of light according to the visual environment, increasing color saturation and contrast where the eye needs it most. Rather than simply darkening the scene uniformly, Prizm tuning makes edges, textures, and depth cues more defined, which translates to sharper visual clarity in bright outdoor conditions. Multiple Prizm tint options are offered to match different lighting environments and personal preference; use the variant picker to select the lens that fits your conditions.
Prescription Ready
Wheel House accepts Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses, making it a practical option for prescription wearers who want the full Prizm or standard optical lens program in a square lifestyle frame. The frame geometry is designed to accommodate ophthalmic lens blanks without compromising fit or optics. If you have questions about Rx compatibility, the team at Island Water Sports can point you in the right direction.
Fit and Wear
The deep square lens shape provides solid peripheral coverage without the bulk of an oversized frame. The stainless steel temples keep the profile sleek at the side, and the Unobtainium earsocks are a practical detail that makes a real difference during outdoor activity when the frame would otherwise loosen from sweat. The Hollowpoint hinge gives the temple enough outward flex to make the frame easy to put on and take off without stressing the barrel joints over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Are Oakley Wheel House sunglasses prescription ready?
- Yes. Wheel House accepts Oakley Authentic Prescription Lenses. The frame is designed to accommodate ophthalmic lens blanks and works within the Oakley Rx program, including Prizm prescription options.
- What is Oakley Prizm lens technology?
- Prizm is Oakley's lens tuning system that amplifies specific wavelengths of light to increase color saturation and contrast in a given environment. Rather than simply tinting the view, Prizm lenses make edges, depth, and texture more defined so you see more detail in bright conditions.
- What is the Hollowpoint hinge on the Oakley Wheel House?
- The Hollowpoint hinge is a self-contained spring cam mechanism with an internal piston housed entirely inside the hinge body. It provides outward spring flex for easy on and off without any exposed spring hardware, giving the frame a cleaner profile than traditional spring hinges.
- Can I get replacement lenses or ear socks for the Oakley Wheel House?
- Oakley sells replacement Prizm lenses and Unobtainium earsocks for frames in their current lineup through authorized retailers. Island Water Sports carries Oakley products in store and online and can help confirm which accessories are compatible with your frame.
- What is O Matter and why does Oakley use it?
- O Matter is Oakley's proprietary stress-resistant nylon frame material. It is lightweight, flexible enough to absorb everyday impacts without cracking, and UV and heat resistant so the frame geometry stays stable over time. It is the primary frame material across most of Oakley's lifestyle and performance sunglass lineup.
- What makes the Oakley Wheel House different from Pitchman and Pitchman R?
- Wheel House draws inspiration from Pitchman and Pitchman R but introduces a new square shape with smoother, deeper lens geometry. It also features the Hollowpoint hinge, which both predecessor styles helped popularize. Think of it as a design evolution of those frames into a prescription-ready square silhouette.
- Where can I buy Oakley Wheel House sunglasses?
- You can purchase the Oakley Wheel House at Island Water Sports in store and online. We carry current Oakley styles for South Florida and ship nationally.
