as long as you get quality wheels like BBS, ADVANS, and HRE and they're not too far off from the stock specs you should be more then fine.

The difference in ride would largely be determined by the size of the wheels you'd seek to install and tires. Larger diameters tend to make the road more "noticeable", (road noise, bumps, etc.).

Stay within/near OEM specs and you should be fine.

please dont get black... there is no reason to look like you have a light weight track wheel. If you think its stealth, its not. A glossy car and a 10k wheel package you cant see looks ridiculous.

I've had black on black and agree the wheels don't standout. I now have black on GT Silver - I like the contrast.

Can't understand the trend in black wheels these days. Seems everyone has them and now the OEM's are putting them on cars right from the factory. I do however love black id the rims are polished with a nice set back.
