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. This foundation is ready for the client's choice of high-performance drivetrain, such as the HEMI SRT-8 or HELLCAT.
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 We replace the outdated braking system with Baer 6-piston calipers.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.

Vigilante’s 17-inch turbine-style wheels were engineered for high-quality restorations and resto-mod builds where factory appearance and modern performance must coexist. Inspired by the iconic 1987–1991 Grand Wagoneer turbine wheel, these wheels retain the original look while solving the limitations of factory 15-inch wheels.
Original Grand Wagoneer turbine wheels were never designed to accommodate modern braking systems or contemporary tire options. Vigilante re-engineered the turbine design at 17x8 inches to provide increased brake clearance, improved tire availability, and better overall drivability — all while maintaining the original Grand Wagoneer appearance.
Each wheel is cast from aluminum and finished in a factory-inspired gray paint, then machined, polished, and clear-coated. The result is a durable, period-correct finish that closely mirrors the original Grand Wagoneer turbine wheels while offering the strength and consistency of modern manufacturing.
These wheels are designed to fit 1974–1991 Full-Size Jeep models, including Grand Wagoneer, Wagoneer, and Cherokee SJ platforms. With 3.75 inches of backspacing, they offer excellent clearance for upgraded brake systems and work particularly well on vehicles with mild lifts (3.5 inches or greater), while maintaining proper stance and geometry.
These wheels accept original factory-style Jeep hubcaps for those seeking a stock appearance. Vigilante wheel center caps are also available separately for customers who prefer a fully finished, modern presentation.
Also Fits Chevy/GMC Square Body Trucks
Vigilante's 17-inch turbine wheels are fully compatible with 1973–1991 Chevy/GMC C10 and C/K square body trucks, making them one of the few period-inspired wheels available that cross between the classic Jeep and classic truck restoration worlds.
Square body owners face the same challenge Grand Wagoneer restorers do — factory 15-inch wheels can't clear modern brake upgrades. These wheels solve that problem with the same 17x8 sizing and 6x5.5 bolt pattern that drops right into C10 and C/K applications.

Size: 17x8 inches
Bolt Pattern: 6 x 139.7mm / 6 x 5.5"
