You fail to consider that the aluminum of the wheels is literally ten thousand times stiffer than tire rubber (Young's Modulus of ~7*10^10 vs ~7*10^6). That means that, roughly, if the tire deflects 1" (pretty extreme, but for the sake of argument), the wheel will deflect 1/1000th of an inch. The wheels aren't even cast to that tolerance, not even close! Most OEM wheels are held to a ~3mm tolerance (118/1000ths of an inch).
Stiffening the stock wheels to improve the handling of a car is a fool's errand.

Considering that the old wheel style performs more than adequately, any stiffness gained in the new wheels will have a virtually immeasurable effect on the car's handling. It's neat to put in the brochure though.

Once again if the part is improved without adding weight or cost then it is indeed noteworthy.

Only the first pics/videos shown did not have it. All pics since then have included the center support so I am sure the production model will have it.
