When you say you don't want them to poke out, do you want them to be as flush as possible without going past, or just 'as long as they aren't poking I don't care'
I'm a huge fan of the Enkei wheels, as they are really good quality for the money, (and meet your 'black' criteria.)
If you want a nice little upgrade while you're buying wheels and tires, take a look at something like this:
Enkei RPF1, 17x8, between +35 and +42, depending on if you intend to lower at all. Go square, then add 3mm slip on spacers in the rear and it will look very even, and you won't need bolt on spacers, or extended lugs, and you won't need two different wheel offsets.
I really like a 225/45-17 Bridgestone S-04 or Michelin PSS on those wheels. There will be about the same amount of 'stretch' as the stock wheel and tire package has, but the tires will be a nice upgrade, offering stiffer sidewalls, and more grip!
The RPF1's look nice, are light, and are pretty strong without breaking the bank. Most of their wheels do pretty well also, but there's a lot of personal preference.

My plans for the car are for the time being going to be exterior. The only other thing I can think of that I want to do are things like a diffuser, side lips, front bumper lip, etc. Here's a couple builds with good examples of fitment that I'm looking for in tire/wheel ratio:

Tire to fender ratio would be nice to adjust as well, but I have no plans to lower it so I'm assuming that's out of the question.
In terms of performance/handling, I essentially don't want it to perform/handle any worse. Better is always welcome, but I also have no issue with it staying the same.
In terms of poke, I'd mostly prefer flush but if anything would prefer poke.
I'm not a huge fan of the RPF1's, but Enkei does make some nice looking wheels so I would not be opposed to getting some from them if that would work. I'm assuming 18" wheels would be ideal? Some examples I like:

Is Konig a good company for light wheels? If so, I love the Oversteers:
