I do not understend what is the difference between waffle wheels and pressed wheels. How are the waffle wheels made?
Here are some links to the waffle wheels:

wheels with waffle webs
A bit of a guess. A wheel essentially consists of a central 'disc' (the web) and a roughly cylindrical rim (on which the tyre is fitted). IMO a waffle wheel has the web formed as a waffle structure (3D) instead of 'plain' structure (such as a steel pressing), so it is much more rigid for the same weight.
