    To be fair it looks pretty good, i think unless you come up with some amazing body kits for the Transporter, the Transit is looking like the looker of the two 👍🏻

      Silver wouldn't have been my first choice. We need a new custom as soon as possible to start developing for the T7. We got this really easily before anyone else. We couldn't choose colour though. These wheels are as wide as a stock van can have. Now we know we can go wider with air. We have custom Navis forged 21's in production now. They are also wider.
