Why didn't Mission E make it into the final release?

[TaycanQWE]

These wheels were released in a different form. Does anyone know the reasons? Why?
I want to make it custom made for me and I'm trying to figure out why it doesn't exist on sale?

Six spoke wheels with 5 lugs is the devils handiwork.

You can find aftermarket wheels looking closer like the concept car wheels: See on eBay

Six spoke wheels with 5 lugs is the devils handiwork.

Why?

 

[Vercingetorix]

Why?

Asymmetry at the hub. One lug per spoke. Even when the hub is covered up, Porsches should still have 5 spokes or a multiple of 5.

Looking closer those wheels at the first post they have seven spokes, even worse.

The closest thing I have seen to the original Mission E 7 spoke wheel is the Rotiform FRA:

Um, doesn’t the standard 5 lug arrangement trace a pentagon, which makes it more technically “the devil’s work”?

I asked about them at my local wheeler dealer and the 21" are €6500 without tires...
Total would be €7800,-.

Why?

It is actually 7 on the concept and effectively feeding the load from the rim down 7 spokes into 5 fixings is poor engineering practice.

Probably could get away with it with a very thick, heavy hub but not very Porsche…
