The difference between the two rim designs you mentioned is just a visual difference. The mini mod wheels are a white rim that have small circles that run around the mounting flange of the rim whereas the other white style you referenced has triangles cut out instead.

I attached a picture that shows the difference between the two styles with the mini mod being labeled. The rims in the picture are # AM31985 and # AM31991.
