Well driving in Puerto Rico is like doing it on the moon. I know a person that have the original ones on his 2012 550i and he has bend 2 rim in 3 month. He end up buying a new one to have it like a spare. So compare to them this are more reliable, haven't bend them. But like anything that you have, it's finally the way it is used.

Search ebay, plenty of black grill options. No, your wheels look great color, size, everything. Why do you ask?

So I didnt notice but I guess that means you have 20s. They look great so from a looks standpoint, no reason to change but how does the car drive, handle, etc. Thats really the only reason most go with 19s or 18s, because of driveability. Obviously with bigger wheels comes more weight, unless you drop a lot of money on very lightweight forged wheels. So the heavier the wheels/tires, the reduction in driveability, handling, performance-responsiveness, etc. If they drive fine and you dont mind, then leave it as is
