"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

I think those are the VMR 710?
Get with Michael from Acute Performance, I think he sells those. I got my Avant Garde M310 wheels from him, and he uses the same powder coater as eAs

Thanks for the kind words. Yes I carry Avant Garde and VMR and can powdercoat them. Let me know if you're interested.
