Please, do what you want. And I do not mean to insult. And since I'm new here I'm the last one that should offer any opinion. But you did ask......

My first thought when I saw the red with white inserts was spokes a carnival popcorn cart.

I do like the solid red though.

Red spokes, polish the lip on the rims, black tires. Go for wide whites if the rims are solid red.

Hope they last longer than mine did, one year and it was full of cracks. I don’t leave it in the sun and it was a newer dated tire.
Whatever I suggest here should be given ample time for a moderator to delicately correct. I apologize in advance.
