Velgen VMB5 rims (Or any comparible Velgen)... Still TRACKABLE?

Definitely would love to be squared for the benefits behind it... but willing to be staggered for the "oh my god that makes me drool" effect!!

hahaha

To your point of it coming down to price point and brand.... I am all invested in and interested in the VMB5... but again.. have to make the wise decision to get something I am less enthusiastic about if someone qualified tells me itd be a mistake for the limits I take my car to.

Looks wise... Velgen VMB5's
(to me... Khyber and Ashpian's cars' are pure SEX with that rim and tire... I almost have blinders on to anything else - looks wise)

Practicality and avoiding of double rim purchase... (Hopefully) Velgen VMB5's

ugh... the effort and time we put into these cars ;) hahaha

I am in love with the Velgen VMB5 rims. Not excited about biting the price bullet.. but im always willing to buy the best to complete my car.

In saying this... the thing I hated most about my last mustang was DOUBLE PURCHASING rims! Worst thing ever was going for looks and not overall scope and performance. Long story short.. ordered 20's and a thin-ner tire ( cant remember the size...) but it rode so "Harsh" and made "Thuds" and whatnot over every pothole and train track around. (And I was only 20 years old then... not an old timer complaining of "harsh-ness".. it was obviously "unhealthy" for the vehicle in general) *I build my cars to track and enjoy... I don't mind a lil harsh-er ride.

I could tell this was not healthy or "track-able" (all out speed and turns... no limits)... and sold them for a loss and picked up Steeda "Pentar" 18 X 9.5's square set up; with 285/40 Nitto 555's all around.

Never had another problem or "slam" or "thud" again. I also tracked the rim and tire combo both drag and twisties and never had a worry in the world.

QUESTION BECOMES.... Are the VMB5 staggered set-up in 20's trackable?!

Basically asking... can I push it as hard as I want. Drags and Twisties. With no worries about the strength and performance of the rim? Tire size to be paired with will be 305/35's from either toyo or Nitto. Similar if not identical set-up to user KHYBER and ASHPIAN. (and I did ask Khyber already in PM's... he just doesn't plan on tracking his ride)

I ask because I know Velgen also offers a 19 inch staggered set-up as well.. but im unsure if those even fit around the Performance package Brembo brakes that ive got.

LOL trust me I know the pain my daily/showcar is going back under the knife for a all new front, new upgraded BC coilover extremes with upgraded spring rates, new lights, redoing the wheels on the car for a very custom forged look, and getting the whole care liquid wrapped as well.

its a pain in the rear but I would never trade modding a car for anything as a hobby except going to the shooting range lol cuz Im a gun junky also ( except CA is the worst place to live if you are a gun guy)
