Black wheels would make dealing with brake dust much easier.

be carefull though, brake dust is still highly noticeable on black rims. they just turn your rims brown. my truck has black rims, so thats how i know.

I'm biased, but I like black and red. You could also give it a few black accents to set it off.

I just put a set of Black with polished rim on my Sunset Orange 02 T/A, so I'm kind of partial to the Black, even on your Red car.
