According to my calculations, the 17mm internal of the Velocity A23 work best with a 23mm tyres, soe the internal with of the A719 is 19mm retaining the same profile shape with a 25mm tyres.
I don't think it's possible to not only buy a wider rims says 22mm internal without affecting the brake clearance of the pads, the A719 is just on the threshold of usability (AFAIK).
Only disadvantaged is obviously the aerodynamic of the rims which I'm happy with the pay off for comfort/performance, especially when laden.
