I'm not an engineer or a wheel designer guy, so with that said....

If those 6GR wheels could be carved out in the center, allowing for an open lug design, I think it takes that wheel to another level.

As opposed to a wheel where the lug nuts are buried in the holes of the wheel.

They cannot do that it would cause the structural integrity of the wheel to fail. The wheel was not engineered to be open lug in design so all the load barring is on the enter to the connecting points of the spoke to the barrel.

The front has different depth than the rear because different concaveness. The back is very open where the front is sucken in.
I wish they would have the same concaveness front and back.

Most guys opt for a staggered setup giving it a more aggressive rear concave(and wider rear) but we have done quite a few square setups as well which would give you the same concavity front and rear. Personally I like that my lugs stick out on the rear which is a 20x11. I feel that it emphasizes the depth...but it's all player preference :cool:
