Velgen Wheels

[bm5400]

Hey wasn't trying to do the big promo, I'm a 2016 Mustang purchaser myself and I know there's people out there wanting to know where to get Velgen wheels.
No problems giving discount on the Velgen"s from anyone from this forum (based in Aust).
The reason they look so good is they are custom fit for the 2015 Mustang, the offsets are just right.

Great! PM me a price [MENTION=20617]bm5400[/MENTION]

Looking for a set of staggered 20's. VMB9 in black.

Delivery to Sydney.

EDIT: F... Now I'm torn between black and dark grey...

 

[kiko1]

nice, like the white, never thought it would suit the mustang so well.
Are they the VMB9's?

thank you, yes they are VMB9's.

thank you, yes they are VMB9's.

I do like those VMB9s. Excellent choice

Im pretty keen on Velgens, especially after seeing some of the things the USA guys are doing to 'make' other wheels fit the 2015 mustang.
Also, I emailed another company for a quote on some other wheels I liked, and was quoted $1250 per wheel.....USD.....no wonder I liked them.

The fact that Velgens are made with the mustang in mind means I shouldn't expect to have to stuff around with spacers or camber plates, I don't like any of that.

Anyone know what Tyre sizes are like for the 20 inch Velgens? I don't really care for low profile Tyres, Id like a bit of meat on there so the wheels are not damaged by going over a pebble. But Im sure there are laws that say we cant go over certain sizes from the stock rolling diameter.

As I understand, the Velgens come in either 20x9 or 20x10.5, I like the idea of 20x10.5s, however until I am familiar with the tyre specs required to run that wheel (legally in Australia), I cannot research the tyre cost, and compare with the tyre specs on a 20x9 wheel.

I want no excessive tyre stretch on the wheel, they must fit and look right. and no wheel or tyre rubbing issues. With the expectation of lowering 1-1.3 inch.

Hopefully someone with a bit of experience in this area can educate me a little!

or point me in the right direction to a thread with the info I am after..... I have used the search function but when it comes to Australian laws and such, nothing over seas accounts for that!

Probably some questions for a wheel shop, but I don't think anywhere local stocks Velgens, and I'm sure they probably have limited knowledge of the mustang. Someone point me in the right direction if thats not correct too please!

And you can lower without rubbing

Thankyou! can you tell me the difference (if any) that set up makes to the rolling diameter from the stock setup?


315's would look awesome.

I have been through that thread a few times, there are definitely some nice looking setups, im trying to keep things within the laws here, I just want the piece of mind that everything is legal, and they cant issue me tickets for everything.... could add up extremely quickly, without doing the research!

I have been through that thread a few times, there are definitely some nice looking setups, im trying to keep things within the laws here, im already going to draw attention with an exhaust, and I just want the piece of mind that everything else is ok, and they cant issue me tickets for everything.... could add up extremely quickly!

depends exactly what you mean by legal. technically you can't increase track width by more than 25mm ie 1 inch, so if you have an aftermarket wheel with the same stock offset, the tire can only extend 1/2 inch wider than stock on each side (assuming your tyre will be wider than the wheel - I hate stretch)

i personally won't read into it quite that far if I do wheels, but it's always good to throw your wheel & tyre specs into http://www.willtheyfit.com/ just to see how much poke you will have - will also show diameter changes etc

if I had the money I'd go http://www.americanmuscle.com/matteblackforgestarf14-19inx11-1516-nittoinvo-stag.html (I do not have the money haha)

Edit: I'm going to try and help with the legality side. Basically you can go up to 2" increase in wheel diameter, BUT the total diameter has to stay within a certain limit (unsure right now) and the tyre load cannot decrease - really you can only increase 1" wheel diameter.
Also you can increase by 1.5" wheel width without an engineers cert (correct if wrong) ie up to 11" wheel is fine, but still the total track width can't increase by more than 25mm

**EDIT: I'm wrong, confusion on my part. Track width is measured to the middle of each wheel

[MENTION=15485]MustangDownUnder[/MENTION] I'm going with 275/35 and 295/35 with my Velgens. They look to fit perfectly.

Got a set of wheels on order from [MENTION=20617]bm5400[/MENTION] and a set of Michelins for trade in at Tempe Tyres.

He's the local dealer for Velgen: https://www.autoware.com.au/shop/velgen-wheels/velgen-vmb9-satin-black/

EDIT: The size increase is legal in NSW.

Here's what they'd look like as well:

Not at all mate, its probably the only way to talk legalities without going insane :lol: Thanks for the info.

Thanks, yeah the 275/35 tyres seem pretty standard or popular on the front wheels.

The rears look nice with the 295/35s.
I had a look at pricing for sizes up to 315/35 though, I guess 295s are more common so there are more places who stock a better range for the 295s. Good to keep in mind that 315's will fit nicely though too.

Hoping to stick with Michelin PSS or TOYO's... unless there are issues with those.... have always heard good things about the two though. (unfortunately it looks like TOYO skips that kind of width (295) on their tyres.)


Now to decide on which style of wheel... this is more difficult than choosing an exhaust. :lol:

 

[HybridGT]

When choosing the width, just go with the look you want more. I prefer a flushed look. 315 and 305 would be slightly thicker looking. Thinner then 295 and it would be rather stretched.

hey man, what offset are you basing the width off?

from the PP wheel specs (only ones I could find atm), you're wheels won't be quite legal - track width will increase by about 35mm

of course if the other OEM wheels have more poke then perfect

Isn't going from 9.5 in rear to 10.5 within 1 inch? I'm confused.

yeah that's fine but it's the track width ie width from the outside of the tyre through to the outside of the opposite side.

I tyre I--------axle-------I tyre I

your offset decreases by 7mm (45mm vs 52.5 stock), so with stock tyres you've already moved out 15mm (poke), then add on the tyre width increase of 10mm each side = 35mm increase total

this is actually a pretty complicated area, but I have heard of insurance companies picking up on the legality side and not paying out claims. my mates usually just take the wheels off asap if they are involved in an accident before inspection

Lol all that math. Ok duly noted, thanks for explaining. Will take it in for RTA certifcation.

Don't really see too much of an issue over 1cm.
