Is anyone getting these?
I originally had these in my build, but took them out because of the cost. With the required $3500 PSC brakes, the Mission E wheels (painted) add almost $9500 to the cost of the car. Which just seems silly, especially since the brakes don't really add value due to the fact that most braking is done with regenerative braking. But, it seems like every time I read yet another article about the Taycan, there the Mission E wheels are, taunting me. I'm not much of a wheel guy, I couldn't even tell you what the (also expensive) wheels look like on my current car. But the Mission E wheels, painted, are pretty striking. Or maybe they're too showy? To be honest, I'm not sure how they'd appeal to me over time.
The only picture I can see of the stock 19 inch "S Aero" wheels is on the configurator. Are there any other pictures?
What do others think? Is anyone adding the Mission E wheels to their build? And how would they affect drivability and range - any effect?

Other pics found online (I'd get white calipers though, not yellow):
