If your trying to keep the factory look I wouldn't spend a dime on factory rims, I would leave it as is, but if your looking for bigger rims just go with some nice looking aftermarket 19's or 20's. It's not worth buying 17' factory rims, there too expensive.

You may want to keep your eyes open on ebay for a used set. They can be found at a reasonable price usually. Beware of ebay scams however.
