Are these the best Volkswagen Transporter wheels EVER for T5 to T6.1. We think so and explain why

[@ashleybutcher2078]

Hi Andy. Love the channel, and we have numerous bits on ours from TRANSPORTER HQ. Cheers

[@THQAutomotive]

That's great to hear. Thank you 😊

[@StuartPlumbley]

Would love to see some cast versions of the fuchs/empi style wheels

[@THQAutomotive]

It could come but the 2 tone isn't possible without diamond cut, but that just can't happen with UK road salt etc.

[@StuartPlumbley]

@@THQAutomotive I think with the diamond cut, as long as it's not the actual rim that has been done they tend to last well enough, once a rim has the slightest nick, then yes they deteriorate really quickly. But a full colour version would work well enough

[@THQAutomotive]

@@StuartPlumbley we tired with the GP7. It looks stunning, but sure enough, after a winter, we saw slight signs of corrosion

[@foxmulder6972]

Your Navis wheels are bang on, no question about it BUT though 20's look GREAT especially on an aired out weedeater, in the real world, the world where we drive our vans everyday down pothole riddled B roads and lanes 19's with a bit more rubber round your beautiful rims feels better. Why don't THQ get on the blower to Accelera, get a phi 103y rated 235/45/19 produced, and sold by you?! 1000's of units could potentially be sold by you guys every month and push you even quicker towards world DOMINATION! Repeat business is always a good thing. Love your videos. Peace brothers

[@THQAutomotive]

We managed to get a factory to make a 103 rated 275/35/20 and 255/35/20 but had to guarantee big numbers for them to produce the tyre. We know from the Navis steels, 20's out sell 19's 20 to 1. Mold costs for wheels and tyres are so expensive, I don't believe sales would ever cover those costs. 20's honestly don't have to be uncomfortable, 265/40/20 is a really comfortable type. Good quality coilovers also massively make a difference.

[@chrisdavis2525]

the Ascot grey van with swamper wheels - would you drop this on coil overs? is that a good look or will it look a bit odd? you showed one earlier in the video on another van which looked like it was dropped a bit?

[@THQAutomotive]

Lowering on swamper wheels has come a really popular look and super comfy with the right coilovers. You just need to fit the correct size tyre

[@sonyvaioboy]

Hey THQ I’m looking at the Navis GP7 and have a T6.1 T32 on Eibach 45mm lowering springs. What tyre size do you recommend? Considering it’s a daily driver & I’d prefer a comfy ride!

265/40 will be perfect 😊

The ascot grey transporter looks great I was looking at these wheels and putting bf Goodrich on them but lowering it do you think that would be ok ie rubbing ect:

[@THQAutomotive]

Yes no problem, you just need a smaller tyre

[@Mid-Life-Mark]

Big supporter of THQ (always give a shout out when doing my vids on here) and I'm currently looking for a new set of wheels but I find the mark-up at THQ EU for the wheels is too high (£1100 in UK for GP7 but £1325 in NL). When I also factor in the cost of shipping from NL to CZ It works out cheaper to drive and get a ferry to the UK and buy them locally.

[@THQAutomotive]

The issue is anti dumping tax that has to be paid on alloy. Navis are in the Uk so tax is a paid to there. They are then shipped to Europe so that tax is paid again. You would also have to pay that tax from UK to CZ

[@Mid-Life-Mark]

@@THQAutomotive Yep I hear you re:taxes. Thanks for the explanation. I'll probably just grab some on my next trip home.

[@jasonocallaghan4358]

[@harryt259]

Hi, just after some advice with the wheels on my T6 camper. It's on 20's which are load rated correctly (just!), with 245/45/20 tyres but I'm considering switching to Navis twins for something stronger. My question is, what tyres could I fit that would make the ride a bit smoother if that's possible without compromising the look too much? The current wheels are 20" RS fox iota wheels (they look a bit like RS6 rims) which were on when I bought it. It's dropped on B14 komfort coilovers which came from yourselves too which also made a massive difference to how it drives. Any help appreciated 👍

[@THQAutomotive]

Hello Harry, I'd personally run a 265/40/20 on that wheel. There isn't a lot of different in overall size between those 2 tyres though.

[@peterwilding9744]

I love the steel wheels another excellent video content explained so well Drive safely everyone the snow is coming 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌

[@THQAutomotive]

Roll on the summer hey Peter ☀️

[@Flyingtwiglet]

Will these wheels fit a Buzz or does that have a different size/bolt pattern?

[@THQAutomotive]

No the ID-Buzz is 5x112. We can get Navis to make custom splits for them. We've just designed some splits for our ID - Buzz.

[@bunsenburner2693]

Would love to see Navis down under. Esp the GP7s. Just make sure they are made tough for the many miles of unpaved roads we have to deal with. (reason to run OEM steelies)

@@russellparker4568 proper 4 wheel alignment is really important but I'd get it done 2-3 weeks after the coilovers to allow them to settle. I personally wouldn't bother with camber adjusting bushes as you aren't going low.

I wish someone would make some gp style wheels for a T4 that would tuck

Navis could make you some custom splits that would do that. Not cheap though.

Great video once again 👌🏻 really interesting and thought provoking…..we have ordered a T6.1 Kombi 204ps 4motion from Vanworx in Ascot Grey and are split on wheels, as in wife likes black, I like bronze 🤔 also, we tow a caravan with it so the wheel needs to be strong…..I had seen a wheel by Riviera (RF108) which claims to be load rated…..but this video has me worried……I love the Navis concept….but I don’t think I am brave enough to go for a Schmoov….any ideas?

I’ve had 3x sets of Canteras on 2x T6s - think they are the best looking OEM wheel and a good compromise at 19” but particularly like the Twin 5 because of the better fitment. Also now interested in the GP7s that you’ve got the caps sorted ❤
