^+1, maybe get black wheels, and then do some sort of two tone with the red you have now and some black paint. The two tone could look good as long as you pick a good combo. There's a couple rides on here with two tone that look great(black/silver and orange/black).

Depends if you want to stick with that base color for one of the two tones. Doing something with a Dark Grey or Black might look good in a two tone.

+1 on the wheels!

I really like the look of a two-tone paint job....just need to make sure the two colors compliment each other well.
