Novas did use the "DA" rims on the 4 piston calipers. If you look at the rim on a "DA" Chevy ll

you can see the bulge the rim has to clear the caliper. the DG does not have that on a

chevy ll.

Here is a DG rim another member is selling...

Yes indeed, I just sat a DA and a DG side by side and the "bulge" is very clear, and I now know why it's there. I am happy to have learned something today! Thanks Dave!!
