I really think the rims are fine, I think the tire profile is too high though, making the actual wheels appear smaller. Dropping it (lowering springs) would also help to correct this look. Your tire walls (from rim to edge of tire) should be around 101mm (3.98") if you're using 18" wheels, or around 114mm (4.49") if using 17" wheels.
Also, while larger (heavier) wheels do put more strain on many aspects of the car, there are many people on here who daily drive their Gen 2s with 20"+ wheels and have been fine. I don't necessarily follow this (I used 18" for more comfort / balance), but the dealer isn't always 100% accurate.
Dude, I'd steer away from a new spoiler unless it's the Gen 2.5 SE Sport version (see PXL's car), which can be had from the dealer or any Toyota parts stores. Other than that, most spoilers would look very cheesy on our cars. Then again, this is your ride, so you need to do what makes you happy, and what YOU like.
