With the center lock option now available, I would expect to see more cutting edge and lighter wheels. Again this is just my opinion.

Mesh designs are timeless and best looking wheels for a sports car especially a Porsche. There is a reason why iforged, dpe, hre and others has these design in their lineups, it sells. I agree with you that concave is newer and cooler for now. 10 years from now, these wheels will still look good, can't say the same for concave designs.
