Larger diameter wheels in the original design.

The original 15x7” rims were too small for the large 14” disc brakes.
Our Wagoneer wheels are now 17x8”.
We wanted to keep the iconic Brook Stevens design, but we chose to tailor that design to our needs. The original wheels were scanned and reconfigured to a larger scale to accommodate the new massive brakes.
The wheels installed on the VIGILANTE Jeep are now 17x8'' (instead of 15x7''). Not only does this allow for better braking; it also gives the Jeep a modern and robust look that better aligns with its performances.
Jeep Grand Wagoneer Wheels were originally designed by Brook Stevens and are now available in a larger diameter for our VIGILANTE. The original Jeep Grand Wagoneer wheels were only available in a 15 inch diameter and too small for the larger 14” Baer disc brakes. We redo this design in 17 inch to fit with our restomod brakes components. The Jeep Grand Wagoneer wheels are made of aluminum and are custom built to vigilante. The wheels are available in a variety of finishes, including powder-coated, anodized, and polished. The wheels come with a lifetime warranty and can be used only in our vigilante model.
