I agree Black works. I took my factory diamond cut 5 point wheels and had them powder coated a Harley Black and a red pinstripe. Then bought the chrome lug nut covers and the chrome center cap with red bowtie. Seems like a more durable way to go, only about $45 ea wheel. Maybe you go Black with a white pinstripe to tie in the cars body color.

I love the diamond spoke wheels. I'm partial to the polished or aluminum look. Perhaps polished, add a red ring (like Zippy02 has) and then paint the inside start black (like seen on I believe the Dale Jr Monte).

Zippys look is a good look for any car. Of course you could try something crazy and do a white rim with a red stripe.

maybe something like this

I had a shop powder coat them for me. I looked at MANY different wheels, and eventually decide the OEM ones were actually pretty sweet looking. Figured why not make them a gloss black and I think they work pretty good for the car.
