From what I have read/digested, the Inovits will be inferior to your current wheels. Though they might look more erm... "conventional scooby tuner" than your current wheels.
An "oddball" suggestion is to get your current wheels painted gunmetal or anthracite.
Even better, maybe(!) Strip them back, fill/smooth the grooves on the spokes, then get them sprayed black chrome or similar. Might be a little overkill as maybe with a darker colour the grooves won't show as much.
PS: Can anyone photoshop this?

I would go for the Gunmetal Grey as the Black can get too dirty too quickly and any minor scratches and chips can be seen dead easy.
The car will be transformed with the 18's and Tein springs..........good mods.
Re the 'inferior Inovites'..........if memory serves me correctly, a couple of years ago there was a batch of Redline alloys that were discovered to have hairline cracks in them, which should generally not happen to a decent alloy wheel, however, I have not heard of any complaints recently about the Redlines and if I could afford some, then they would be on my car tommorrow. They look awesome.

The after market doesn't have the same issues as a supplier of wheel to say Volkswagen or Subaru. If wheels crack or bend or discolour, you tend to be on your own with regard to pursuing any claim.
I personally wouldn't regard Inovits as being a top quality item. There are wheels and wheel companies out there producing kit of a higher standard.

At the end of the day you get what you pay for, I paid for Invoits and am very happy with them, compared to OE Preodrive Pff7's there is certainly a difference in quality and the Inovits are heavyer, they are however a dam sight cheaper. If I had the choice I'd have OE Prodrive rims, however at well over 1k I went down the cheaper route and spent the saved cash on other mods.
As for colour, gunmetal all teh way, view my scoob.

Black on your car. I powder coated my wheels in black albeit gloss as opposed to matt. They look gun metal when dirty mind you
<--- view my scooby.
I've always liked black wheels as they look more "racey" to me. Anthracite only looks better on white cars IMO.
