If the outer ring creates 1G then wouldn't the inner ring have to be lower? Since at the center, gravity will be zero.

Since velocity of a point on a (rigid) disc is proportional to the radius, this simplifies to acceleration being proportional to the radius. Reduce the radius by half, and the acceleration reduces by half. And, at the center, acceleration is zero. (All this, of course, is assuming the angular rotation rate is constant.)
