Maybe it is the angle, but the Daytonas have that "HRE" curve to it that I like so much while the Equips are flatter like many other iForged wheels.

Man, I'm almost ready to swap mine out.

they do, i see that too. i think that's what allows them to put more lip size, coz' they are able to curve the spokes in more

I was also wondering why Iforged wouldnt update their site with the new styles. There were a few cars in the gallery with the new wheel styles though

iFORGED is actually going to totally revamp its site soon. It will offer a wealth of information and images. When pics are taken for a website, they need to be taken in a professional studio, which is not cheap. So most companies wait until they have ALL of their new product ready and do a photoshoot. This, as opposed to spending ridiculous amounts of money shotting wheels every 2 months. (hint hint, there are MORE new styles coming!!!)

The gallery is not photostudio shots, (just dealer/owner shots) so that can be edited at will

D2-AUTOSPORT is due for website updates as well, but we are also waiting for new media from quite a few manufacturers.

Thats part of it, but its honestly the entire forging and design that yields the extra lip. Note the way the rivets are more flushed with the wheel face, etc. I have to admit, I am quite proud of the work iFORGED is bringing to the market lately (totally objective opinion of course )

If the new wheels are hot enough it might be worth it
