Go with what you like. Tuner wheels are an ever changing world. Tuner wheels will not be as substantial as OEM but whenever I have changed from OEM wheels to tuner wheels I have generally been happy with the result. It is an appearance question and unless you are thinking of forged wheels I believe the differences amongst the brands are appearance.

I do believe Enkei are over priced but that is a sentiment not based on fact just feeling and a lot of people are quite happy using that brand.

I'd suggest going to the larger online sites for buying wheels, find some in the brand you like, and read the reviews. I was turned off of enkei when every review of the wheel I liked was poor.

I actually installed the black stock 17" in place of the silver. I of course like that look over the tuner wheels. Plus down the road, it is easier to get a replacement and not worry about the aftermarket wheels being discontinued.

Didn't look to hard, found this when I searched 17" black chevy sonic wheels on ebay. First two listings and there are others and numerous sites on the interwebs also if you search the same thing.
