Leave em black
There are not very many other colors that would go good with red, unless your trying to go for the whole JDM look, in that case maybe the FZero Blue, Mag Blue, you can do takata green but that might look to christmasy, or you can go with Gold or bronze.....Many colors to choose from if your going for that route, but I think black looks the cleanest

IMO, either leave them black, or go bronze/gold.

been there and done that stick to gloss black, gold or bronze.

don't think outside of the box here. make sure you take good care
to insure the wheels are dissassembled this time around. keep the
bolts free of paint. torque them back together properly.
