Peter, I believe there may have been an issue w/ fitment or making a full set of rims - I cannot recall..

Anyways, that is why I suspect they are arranged like that :cool

Here is the poop..

The car in the picture is the prototype and the wheels were a "one of" set that were machined specifically for the C12 prototype. The rear wheels fit nicely around the callipers, but the fronts did not fit thus roll well. They took the car to the Peirelli test track in Italy before the Geneva show and tested it with the mixed set. For the press pics they were taken in Germany and the wheels were changed during the photo shoot as witnessed by the pic. Interesting is that they further changed the wheels digitally for the final printing. This may explain the "mirror" look. I have a third "different set that was imaged on the press print, but I cannot find it.
