Difference Between Rims

What's the difference between motocross rims and road bike rims? Are flanged much better than non-flanged? I saw this ad on Craigslist and was wondering if they're worth looking in to.

Thanks for the info.

I've got a question about rear wheel spacing. Is the rear rim always centered on the hub? I use to work in a bicycle shop and laced a couple of wheels. On bicycle rear wheels the spokes were different lengths to offset for the cluster (gears).

I guess another way to ask this question, are rear wheel spokes the same length on both sides?

Thanks,
Tom
