Alreet pet! Bit late to the party but thought I'd say Hi!
Just to throw my two-pennies worth in, gloss black wheels show up a lot of micro abrasions, my Trophy wheels look terrible up close, unless the quality is worse than an independent powder coater? Maybe a dark anthracite would look good? Up to you though

Yeah that's the one mate haha. I love the tyres me. Put an extra 2psi in if you feel like that. I know a few people say they're soft but the extra psi will help

Yeah I run them on Track as a purely wet tyre and also keep them on as road tyre's too. They're great gripping tyre's. But not a great overall road tyre's if you're looking for performance on the road especially in dry conditions. Like you say the carcass is very soft. I always make sure I buy the XL versions. Run them around 34 PSI on the road.
The Best road tyre I've tried performance vs price are Khumo KU39.
