I don't care for black wheels personally, but I like the GF 7 pretty well.

I also like the MSW Type 11.
I haven't ever bought aftermarket wheels, but I will give you a brief review of the tires I bought a few months ago.
My wife's cousin in a Bridgestone rep, so i got about a $150 discount. But I still wound up paying over $500 for the tires, mount and balance (on my stock steelies)
Bridgestone Touranza w/ Serenity technology
75k mile warranty
Free tire rotations for life
Good grip on dry pavement. Very quiet. Grip in the rain is outstanding. I have never had a tire perform this well in the rain before. When driving in the rain, I can barely tell a difference in the grip (unless I get on the gas too much from a stop.) This was a big plus for me as my Mustangs hydroplaned very easily. So I have always hated driving in the rain. If I ever buy another Mustang, i will probably put this brand of tire on it.
The tires are designed for high powered luxury vehicles like BMW's, Infinities, etc..
I did not see them on tirerack though in the size you said you will need.
They are expensive tires, but I doubt I will need to replace them any time soon.
Just my little tire review for ya

Ya gotta have 2 sets of wheels, but the BF Goodrich KDW's are friggen sick in the rain. My buddy has them on the EP3 and they are really unbelievable. My Toyo Proxy4's hold the road pretty good too for an all-season option. When I pulled the 0.9 g turns in my accord, I had stock wheels with Yoko's on them. I had dB S2's .... they were discontinued because the dual depth rain channels caused problems with the tire's life ...... the inner channel caused cracks that wrap around the entire tire .... every rain channel!!!
