Hey Dave, the difference between the 12 inch Dexter wheels part # AM20140 and # AM20122 is the hole design of the wheel basically. The part # AM20122 has small triangle shaped holes in the wheel whereas the part # AM20140 has small round circles.

The round circle design makes it a "mini mod" wheel whereas the small triangles make it a spoke wheel. It's totally personal preference which you like the look of.
