So the ZCP wheels are wider, but the 220M offset is less. I am trying to order a set of COR wheels, but they can't do it in ZCP sizes so might have to settle for 220M sizes. My question is, does the 220M dimension look less aggressive than the ZCP or does the offset cancel out the size difference visually?
Simple math: If the offset was the same, the ZCP wheels would be 0.25" wider both ways, inward into the wheel well and outward toward the fender.

0.25" = 6.35mm

Since the offset is 2mm less aggressive, the net result is that the ZCP wheels are 4.35 mm closer to the fender than the 220 wheels.

They are also wider and look more aggressive. They are 2lbs heavier than the 220 wheels but their weight distribution is better.
