Opinions needed

Getting ready to get the old 3 wheeler going again and am looking to have the wheels powdertcoated. I borrowed some wheels/tires from friends to get an idea on how each would look. I would be doing the front to match as well. Which color do you guys like best? The color combo is obviously red and black, but I do have a few candy red accents as well.

Both look good, but the red one is pretty cool looking and sets it all off..

Thanks guys. I'm also thinking red. The black looks just as good in person, I think, but everybody is doing black wheels now. I was concerned that the candy red would be too much since I only have a few random accents in candy red, but I think that's what sets the wheels off and makes them work.

I say WHITE, but red would match your truck better.

Well, black wheels would actually match my truck better. Now that just complicates things further.
