Do the wheels you're considering maintain the exact factory offset and are they no heavier (including tires that are on them) than the factory units? (Answer to both questions should be "yes.")

Way more to this than just going for "the look" and perceived overall handling improvements...

Recommending reading here:

As a now retired mechanical design engineer and life long "car guy," I'm keeping my stock wheels unless I decide to upgrade to forgings (for reduced unsprung and total vehicle weight plus reduced wheel/tire rotational inertia).

As I've mentioned elsewhere, there's way more to all of this than just "the look," and oftentimes even optimal grip levels on a billiard table smooth skidpad.
