I wasn't sure at first with the picture you posted in GC but seeing them pictures I think they really suit the car, and all the other black bit on the car compliment them really well.
Yellow Porsche brakes

I think once thats lower it will look miles better, but definitely think it will look loads better if they were done in a lighter colour

Too dark for the car imo, but a very nice set of wheels, just think they would look better in a different colour.

copper grease just gets washed off and all the shit off the roads sticks to it.
I sprayed mine with hammerite silver, it's perfect.

You can just wipe copper grease off though and reapply after adjusting
