If you carefully look at the front brake clearance, you will see that it would not allow a conical spoke profile. Therefore the front wheels have less dramatic shape.
Typically only the rear wheels allow for a conical profile. On most of the newer vehicles, they car manufactures are fitting flatter profile wheels even in the rear.
It is mostly an issue with the brake clearance, but also on the fender and suspension clearances.
Hope that answers your question.

Sure no problem. Thought you were joking.

Let me say I am not a big porsche fan, but this one, with the red wheels, just does it for me. I love it.
I guess the reason it struck me as odd is, well, it kind of looks odd. I would have gone with the flat profile on the front and the rear.
