Yea, it's odd that some companies do that. It would make sense to have concavity on the front too. With a negative offset, the wheel is "pushing" the spokes away from the hub and providing more room for the caliper.
Dunno.

Yeah it looks kinda weird and I wish my fronts were concaved too but I like the style of my wheel so I’ll deal with it

they look the same to me...both seem like 5 spokes. the rear just gives the appearance of a extra spoke because of the concave and angle of the photo

They look correct to me. When staggered, the fronts are less concave because they are narrower. All wheel styles are like this and the amount of concave is dependent on the wheel width vs offset. They look to be stock width and offset. Probably to retain the factory tire sizes.

I suppose it is more popular than what I thought. When I ordered aftermarket wheels for my Camaro, I was able to give them the exact specs that I wanted. All 4 wheels were concave.

Yeah I would say this person walked into a tire shop and said I want wheels and they ordered them.
