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

- Ok so we might be biased as we're the UK and European distributor, but there is good reason we decided to work with the Navis factory.
The Navis wheels range now covers everything, from steels, 17" and 20" cast alloy wheels to custom made forged split rims. Whether you want something rugged and tough, or maybe a little more motortsport, or even that really special wheel for show season, there is a wheel in the Navis range for you. Best of all these are all built especially for the VW Transporter T5 to T6.1 platform, with the addition that they are also load rated and tested to work with the new Volkswagen Crafter / Man TGE.
We've been involved in the previous and future design process, and there are some more stunners being added to this already impressive range, so keep watching.
As Transporter HQ Europe, we are also working with Navis wheels to get some of the designs TÜV approved for the German and other European country market.
We are also in looking at making the Navis wheels range available in Australia. More details coming soon.

Buzzing with my gelidas on my air ride van.. best look I’ve had 🙌🏼
It looks so good 😍
I love the steel wheels another excellent video content explained so well Drive safely everyone the snow is coming 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌
Roll on the summer hey Peter ☀️
Love my Navis twins! Great quality product.
Still my favourite wheel Navis.
Big fan of all your videos, fantastic content so well delivered ! Got to be the most interesting knowledgable Transporter info out there just one thing can we see more of your French bulldog in the shots because they are just AWESOME Too ..Ash
Haha, yeah she's lovely. I'll try and get her in more.
Hi Andy. Love the channel, and we have numerous bits on ours from TRANSPORTER HQ. Cheers
That's great to hear. Thank you 😊
DID I JUST HEAR AUSTRALIA!!! So keen!!! Liked and subscribed bell on the whole shibang
Yes I did, watch this space 😉
I was looking at your wheels the other day. I need to get some new wheels this year
You know where we are 😊
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
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.
@@THQAutomotive Thanks for taking the time to reply.
@@foxmulder6972 no problem, thanks for your comment.
Some great design…👍🏾
Thanks and more to come 😊
Great content!! Ive got a set of holeys here from you guys just waiting for tyres fitting on friday, looking forward to seeing them on. Got coilovers going on in 2 week 60mm drop hopefully no dramas with rubbing 🤞🏻
You'll have no problem as long as you have the correct size tyres going on 😊
@@THQAutomotive yeah ive gone with mikeys recommendation off 255/40/20 and 275/40/20. Do i need to remove the front inner arch fixing block? Had a feel underneath today and noticed it.
@@THQAutomotive will i need camber adjusting bushes fitting for the wheel alignment?
@@russellparker4568 You shouldn't need to remove anything
@@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.
Would love to see some cast versions of the fuchs/empi style wheels
It could come but the 2 tone isn't possible without diamond cut, but that just can't happen with UK road salt etc.
@@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
@@StuartPlumbley we tired with the GP7. It looks stunning, but sure enough, after a winter, we saw slight signs of corrosion
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.
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
@@THQAutomotive Yep I hear you re:taxes. Thanks for the explanation. I'll probably just grab some on my next trip home.
ive just ordered a set of GP7s in silver to go on my silver t5.1. ive ran a set of black and a set of anthracite so im looking forward to see how they look esspecially with the centre caps fitted.
Tag us in a picture when they're on 😊
@@THQAutomotive sure will 👍🏻
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)
Get it touch with Kombi Life, they have some on order
Love to see lentas on a crafter
Its been done a few times. Have a look on the Navis Instagram page
@@THQAutomotive could only see the Gileda AT for a crafter. Must have another look
Would love some dome centre caps for my Schmoov’s
I've seen people do it. I think you can get stick on domes on eBay
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? Have you seen black or bronze on an Ascot grey van?
This video might help czcams.com/video/w9x8nyLqFv4/video.html
@@THQAutomotive thanks very much 👍🏻
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:
Yes no problem, you just need a smaller tyre
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 👍
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.
Hi what must be tyres for 8.5 19 and rear 9.5 19?
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?
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
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 ❤
Yeah both favourite wheels of mine ☺️
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 😊
Navis - Twin-5 can I get that in 19 inch ?
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.
Will these wheels fit a Buzz or does that have a different size/bolt pattern?
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.
I’m kinda thinking those bronze GP7s would look nice on my Reflex Silver t5…
They totally would. I love bronze on grey and silver vans.
Am in the market for new wheels on my 4mo - Navis in Aus - how long would i realistically have to wait THQ!?!
Hello, I know Kombi life have ordered some Navis wheels. Please get in touch with them
@@THQAutomotive awesome thanks guys, love your stuff!
@@TheBainzz Thanks for your kind words :)
A Navis alloy Amarok ‘steel’, basically a Rotiform STL but available in the correct offset and size please 👍🏻
The STL is coming. We're also working with Rotiform to get a bunch of their wheels Transporter rated.
@@THQAutomotive Take my money! 💵💵💵
The gp7 do they do a 19"
No only 20. 19's are harder to get the correct load rated tyre for.
Pukka content, kudos
Thank you Sir
Personally think audi rotors look the best on transporters
Fair enough, I'm not a fan of reps or genuine wheels running adaptors. Each to their own though
No it's not, it's only your opinion
I know, it was just click bait 😉
