"Project Darth Vadar" cannot happen with silver wheels 
The grills are a factory OEM part. I ordered them from Tischer BMW (http://getbmwparts.com). Part numbers are 51712155446 right oem black and 51712155447 Left oem black. $60 per grill, great customer service and fast shipping. No complaints at all. I could have purchased matte black grills for less but I think the gloss black looks a lot better...at least on a black car.

Since your going for the Darth Vadar look...it is only fitting that you get wheels powdered coated in Vadar Black
LOL
