Performance brand comes in 11, 17 and 22 mm wide. I use it and have no problems with the brand.
Velox narrow is all-but-useless. It only works on single wall rims that have a narrow channel down the center and it's barely wide enough to cover the nipples on them.
Velox medium is the right width for most rims. It neatly snaps in under the hook bead on Open Pro rims for example.
Velox wide is too wide for road rims and for even some mountain bike rims.
