Yeah I get what you mean. I have the same issue, like for instance, I'm not going forward with a whole saleen body kit etc, because then it is a clone. My car's black also, so it will have that same look as the pic above, but I want to portray a more "I decided to buy these rims because they're what I like" approach rather than like you said with the "I bought these rims because it's a necessity to get the saleen look"

with my cervini bumper, it should change up the look enough
i hope

Well, thanks dude
but i have to say, that isn't MY car... *hangs head in shame*
I DO have a black car, but I just wanted to show you guys the rims I bought, those were them.
My car is going to look like that... minus the saleen front bumper... but the rims on that guy's black car were the exact rims I just got... they're awesome. they were $940US, and like i said, worth every penny.
got em at: www.crossroadzdirect.com
I guess i could pop up a pic of my car...



and yep, those are my rims. (listed above with the black car that isn't mine)

i like your white car dude. I'm a fan of white... it looks sweet.

The only reason why I got replicas was due to a $2,150 difference
no joke... that's a literal figure.

I just paid a thousand bucks CANADIAN...(do the conversion, people) for a full set of 17 x 9 03 Cobra rims, with 275/40ZR17 rubber with only 1000 miles on them, and they're goodyear Eagle F1's. I don't think it's possible to get much more of a deal on wheels. Go with the 03 Cobra's, they look sweet
