Good choice. Another benefit to Michelin's superior & more expensive rubber compounds is the slower aging process. The higher resistance to UV light helps those that don't drive many miles per year but park where sunlight can hit the tires.

I believe your wheels have a stainless rim band that can be removed to straighten & repolish. BBS makes them & 10 years ago BBS was going to offer refurbishing service for the SS bands. I don't know if they do this now. BBS was in Atlanta at one time.
