These are the PERFECT set of wheels

[Dee]

Here they are on my 22. Been running them for just over a year now.
I choose to keep a higher side profile tile rather than the low profile given our roads are not so great here in the NE.

If you have air suspension/adaptive dampers I don't think higher sidewalls make that much of a difference.
It only influences the feel in steering, it becomes less direct and more sponcy...
But hé, if it works for you it's ok.
They don't look bad so I'm sure you enjoy them and that's what matters.

I have them. Seller will negotiate (paid less than $2000). No complaints with them - pics attached. The boxes they came in are a well known wheel company but i don't remember what it's called.

Those look like 20''?

They’re 19. Same tires that came with the car.

Does anyone actually know why Porsche forces you to purchase the upgraded surface coated brakes when selecting the Mission-E wheels in the configurator? I always thought it was merely a BS money grab but what do I know.

Porsche forces you to select a larger brake rotor to fit the larger wheel. So you can choose either the surface-coated rotors or the carbon ceramic rotors, but not the smaller iron rotors to go with the Mission E wheels. Some owners have fitted the Mission E wheels with the smaller iron rotors after delivery, and the look is controversial.

Is the controversy around the design of the wheel being so "open" that it puts a spotlight on the small red calipers?

Exactly. The gap around the rotor makes it look like a bit like an amateur's "tuner" car. See this thread:
