Ding, ding, ding... exactly. Small lug openings may be aesthetically pleasing but hell on the utility.Props for trying to offer something different than what is currently out there.
A couple of suggestions.
1) Enlarge the lug holes to allow for stock lug nut fitment. Yes, the smaller holes are more aesthetically pleasing to the eye. But they aren't optimum from a strength perspective and can be problematic when trying to source a thin wall socket when you are in the middle of nowhere with a flat and you left your "special socket" at home. This would mean changing some other dimensions on the wheel face that you currently show that would change the appearance, however slight.
2) The inner wheel barrel diameter needs to be made larger. Moving the ribs would help with caliper clearance but at this stage I'd recommend something more. Might not be simple what with the spun forging method you want to use but it really should be done. The 6GR wheels are a great alternative to the factory R CF wheel but lack woefully in the clearance department. It'd be nice if you could free up some caliper to wheel clearance this time around.
