that's because they're all the same wheel, just with the hub machined to whatever particular offset is needed. speaking broadly, he's correct that it's impossible to have a lot of concavity or rim depth with our cars... there just isnt that much more width in the fenders than from hub to hub. if you want a wide wheel, most of it needs to sit inboard of the hub face, and therefore have a high offset. theoretically one could also use a lower offset narrower wheel, though the face would look the same, as we're still dealing with a finite amount of spacing between the hub and the fender.
