Message From the pics. Without knowing what you want to spend, the best wheels you can get are custom made forged wheels. Many companies make them, Kinesis, Fikse, Iforged, HRE, CCW. Big money, starting around $4k a set, but you can make them however you want. Keep in mind, polished looks great, but it's a whore to maintain. Body color or a lighter charcoal, or a complimentary engine bay color and polished lips would look great, IMO. Might even be able to have them make a 10.5" or 11" wheel for the back.

The Fikse Profil series, the 5S in particular, is gorgeous.

Fikse Profil Series

Then once you get really baller, the HRE Comp97 is very naaaice.

Or if you're so baller you have a diamond cracker for seasoning your food, the HRE Carbon series is for you:

Then there are the Volk/RAYS, BBS, OZ, Enkei's of the world. Great wheels, typically cost less since they're mass produced, but still excellent quality. My OZ Superleggera III's are excellent wheels; forged centers, forged rim halves and Ti fasteners. Amazing quality for about $1k less than a comparable set of Fikse or iForged wheels.

I doubt you're interested in knock off garbage, seeing you've pulled no punches in your profile. Knock-offs are usually cast, and are therefore heavier and weaker than the forged wheels they copy stylistically.
