i get what your saying, but without having them side by side i didnt know the differance, they all seem to have the same appearance unless im getting my wires crossed.

They're exactly the same apart from the offset. When you've got one of each, side by side, the difference is very easy to spot.

That's only the width. They cut the rim and add a band but it's on the inside of the wheel.
