The Wait Is Over: 17-Inch Turbine Wheels Are Here!

Proudly engineered in Texas, these wheels transition from one-off custom machining to a high-quality production run. Now you can achieve the ultimate Vigilante stance with OEM-quality fit and finish that respects your Jeep's heritage.

Watch Nick show you how we scaled the iconic Turbine wheel to 17 inches for modern performance!The dream of running modern performance tires and big brakes on a classic Jeep without losing that signature 80s Turbine look is finally a reality. At JeepHeritage, we’ve spent years machining these wheels one-by-one from massive 300lb blocks of aluminum exclusively for our high-end Vigilante builds. We knew the community wanted them, but the cost was astronomical—until now.
By partnering with an industry-leading manufacturer, we have launched a production run that brings OEM quality to your garage. These 17x8 wheels are a faithful evolution of the stock 15x7 design, offering the perfect balance of classic style and modern capability.
Designed and tested in Texas, these wheels are a genuine Vigilante part, meaning they’ve been proven in the toughest, most detailed restorations on the planet. Whether you are building a daily driver or a show-stopper, these wheels provide the "smart design" necessary to clear performance upgrades while keeping the soul of your Wagoneer, Cherokee, or J-Truck intact.
Key Features

1988 Grand Wagoneer – Correcting Original Flaws for 810 HP Hellcat Power.
This late-model classic addresses the original vehicle's "engineering flaws and poor quality control". Stripped to the metal, it utilizes Vigilante boxed frame rails to support the 810 hp Hellcat Redeye V8. We replace the outdated braking system with Baer 6-piston calipers. The wheels were 3D scanned and reconfigured from 15x7 to 17x8 to accommodate the massive brakes. Luxury features include Rolls-Royce inspired sheepskin carpet and Moore & Giles finest leather.
1983 Wagoneer Limited – VIGILANTE Frame and Heritage Luxury.
This project started with a 1990 body and was stripped to bare metal, rebuilt to 1983 standards. It perfectly merges both brands: the body sits on a robust VIGILANTE frame, while the exterior features JEEPHERITAGE woodgrain and mouldings. The interior utilizes classic sourced materials like NOS CORDUROY and MOORE & GILES leather.
FAQ
Will these wheels fit my stock Grand Wagoneer?
Yes, these are designed for '63 to '91 full-size Jeeps (SJ) and offer a perfect fit while allowing for larger tire options.
What makes these different from the original 15-inch wheels?
We scaled the original 15x7 design up to 17x8. This allows you to run modern, larger brakes which are impossible to fit behind the stock 15-inch wheels.
What is the backspacing on these wheels?
The backspacing is 3.75-inch which will make the wheel fit perfectly on a lightly lifted classic Jeep with stock axles or a Vigilante chassis.
Where are these wheels manufactured?
These are not low-quality imports. They are manufactured in Thailand and certified to US safety standards and street legal. We partnered with an industry leader in large-scale wheel manufacturing to produce OEM-quality wheels engineered in Texas.
