Wheel opinions please

So I am trying to decide what color I want my wheels to be. The four options are flat red, gloss red, gloss back, and flat black. What do you guys think?

How about some type of gold or tan to match the front bumper? I think out of the 4 choices it would be flat red.

Flat red, but I do like Greg's idea of a tan or gold.

Wheels to match the truck. Red truck, red wheels. BTW, looking good. You've come a long way.
