The outermost point of each center rib may form a circular pattern that is coaxial with the rotational axis. The wheel may have a rim nested within said circular ring, said rim having a plurality of alternating scalloped protrusions, wherein said rim is configured to provide suitable clearance for tools during lug installation and removal while increasing the load capacity of said wheel.
