The wheels are just on the concept. How often do the wheels of a concept actually make it on to the production version? Never. The Carrera GT wheels were similar, but looked much better than the concept CGT's.
Porsche just did that as a statement of their design.

^^ @ZeusI don't know where the source got this information, but Michael Mauer said the reason for the side exhausts is to make the car even lighter. I don't think it'll change.
^^@McRae I hate those calipers! Chances are they will be yellow like the normal PCCB's, I think Porsche did this as a statement of efficiency.

Just my guess. The Carrera GT had yellow, because that is THE signature color for the PCCB's, however, Porsche did take requests for different colored calipers. I've seen red and black calipers on a CGT.

You're not. And I also happen to think those wheels are bad ass. Only black ones I've ever liked.
