Satin aluminum wheels look really special in real life. I wouldn't NOT get them just because you're getting regular brakes. They are unique looking and add to the car for sure. 911R look
Pretty sure the wheels in question are Satin Aluminum that were on the 911R, as shown below. It's a great look, especially on a white car.
On miami blue example, not diggin the all black side mirrors but I like the black door handles. Goes well with the black accents on wing. EU license plate holder makes it look like extra grills in the rear for additional heat venting.
Does anyone have close up pictures of the satin wheel vs the standard polished wheel.
Would also like to see this.....Alex???? I'm leaning towards the optional Satin aluminum wheels (assuming I get an allocation) over the standard silver wheels. Is it worth the upgrade and are they visually similar?

Very hard to give a definitive opinion for someone else as to what is worth it, but on the 911R the satin wheels make the wheel really stand out more, almost seem bigger or more dished. It looks like the regular wheel with a matt finish, which brings out all the angles and shadows of the wheel, gives it a 3-Dimensionality which Looks really good. so, to me, yes, they are truly worth it over the standard wheel. I can't say how to compare them to platinum or satin black as those are different colors entirely, but I would pick these over the standard silver wheels for sure.

that was at the LA PEC if I'm not mistaken and it's guards red
I can vouch for PECLA, but I was struggling with the color. Looked deep red for Guards Red but the photo color you see above is accurate -- the lighting probably hid the orange.
Here's another view (now seeing the orange on the wing):
