What is wheel offset?

I just want to refresh my little knowledge on wheel terminologies. There are many terms people use both correctly and incorrectly. Correct me if I am wrong, or comment me. The wheel’s offset is the distance from its hub mounting surface to the centerline of the wheel. However, the offset of a wheel can be one of 3 different settings; zero, positive, and negative. Pictures shown are examples of SSR Professor SP1 with positive offset, negative offset, and SSR MK-III with zero offset. And of course, sometimes people use the terms High offset, low offset, and medium offset, which I will bring it up next time.  

 
 Negative offset     
        Positive offset                                   Negative offset                                Zero offset

Well, is this the only thing I need to know to be able to sell wheels? Hell, no !!!! There are tons of terminologies and technical stuffs, i need to learn. I guess I’ll be back next time. Thanks for spending time reading up to this point!
