Congrats! Nice ride!
BTW - I think I will never understand what the heck do you people see in black rims??
That look awful... I can swallow all those crazy mods, but not black rims ... i just don't get it!! 
Black car like this, with nice shiny silver rims looks pretty but with black it looks weird... with which 'symbol' it's associated?? looks more 'gangsta' or what?
Don't take it as an offence against you but, what it's all about?
EVERYONE [and that's almost a rule on this forum] throws out AMG wheels, mounts 22s [best if black] rims, lowers the car as much as possible, gives some extreme tint, some spoilers and then the car looks ridiculous! Sometimes it seems to be a forced scheme... Do you realize that many of you disfigure these beautiful cars? I know, ain't no business of mine what happens with YOUR cars, but I think I won't be damned if I ask, WTF???

I've been running black centered rims on my cars since the early 90s'. So a few decades after Porsche have been doing it but well before it was "cool".
And you know what, it's all personal preference no? Some people like beef others like chicken it's as simple as that.
I change my wheels because I like to individualise my car and if people like it that's cool, and if they don't, I won't lose any sleep over it.
