i know why you want them colour-coordinated, but trust me it will look terrible. The wheels will have too much attention drawn to them, you would need to balance the rest of the car out with a bodykit and either a purple vinyl stripe or two tone paint job. (which will look bad as well IMO, but for different reasons)
Gloss black wheels on a black car, not my thing tbh but it will still look good
Now, bearing in mind that there is a 99.9% chance that you WILL kurb your wheels in your first year of driving (or just simply write the car off entirely)....
i would look for a set of relatively cheap alloys that float your boat (i guess you dont mind multispokes).
like these, they wont take a lot to make them fit

get an alloy wheel repair kit, sand them down and repair the scratches, spray them black (and heres my idea, keep them all black apart from the insides of the wheel, spray them purple to match your theme) that way they dont look offensive, just hopefully classy.
kill 3 birds with one stone: saves you money for more mods (or insurance), means you maybe can afford them right away, and also means that you wont be crying when you kerb a very expensive set of alloys.
my tuppence
wheres the none option?

i join this option. dont buy brand spankers because curbs are out there and you'll be soooooooooo pissed if you smash up a new set refurb or no refurb you'll still be pissed as feck....trust me on this
+2 mate. I was pissed off when i did a tiny bit of curb work on my crappy £100 wheels
Why not wait a year? you can kerb the hell out of the standard wheels and not worry much. then next year the insurance will be cheaper and the wheels will have dropped in price (or might even be able to buy a second hand set by then?)
