A legend reborn. The Vigilante 17-inch Five-Slot Wheels revive one of Jeep’s most iconic wheel designs — now re-engineered in modern aluminum for strength, fitment, and period-correct authenticity.
Each 17x8 wheel features the classic five-slot styling of the 1970s Jeep era, precision-cast from aluminum, mirror-polished, and clear-coated for a durable, show-quality finish. The result is a factory-inspired look that fits modern brakes, tires, and daily driving demands.
Built with the same design philosophy behind our Vigilante restomod builds, these wheels bring the best of both worlds — heritage style and modern capability.

Fits 1963–1991 Jeep Wagoneer, Grand Wagoneer, Cherokee SJ & J-Truck
17x8" aluminum construction
6 x 139.7mm / 6 x 5.5” bolt pattern

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.

Bolt Pattern: 6 x 139.7mm / 6 x 5.5"
