shaved doors is the ugliest thing in the world
from the sound of things some rota rims would be your best bang for your buck, they are cheap and you can get them in many different replicas

Black with polished lip are severely overplayed imo, id get some dark bronze to match the white paint.

This should be in a/c forum. OP check the cosmetic forum there will be tons of pics of similar color type cars to see what rims you like and then go on the marketplace and buy em.
