Default Looking for hub color suggestions

I've been wanting to paint my wheel hubs for a while because they're getting a little crusty looking, but I can't decide what color to paint them.

Here's the colors i'm trying to pick between:
-Red Metallic
-Charcoal Metallic
-Black
-White
-Silver

I've been trying to go with a black/white color scheme with red accents, but i'm not sure if red hubs would be too much red. Let me know what you think, thanks

i would have to say black just to match your tank and seat. i don't think red would look right. white would just show alot of dirt. silver and Charcoal Metallic are kind of up in the air i just don't think they would go with your warrior.

I think white would be a bad choice. Black is ok a little too plain for me, I like charcoal metallic but still a little plain same as silver. I do like the red idea but it might be a little too much idk its hard to say. My sister bf has a predator that he made all black with clack powder-coated rims and then he has red hubs and thats looks great but idk how it would look on yours. My vote is for red or charcoal. But it's your bike make it how YOU want it.

I'd think black or red would look sharp.

I've been leaning more towards the red, and after looking at that i'm pretty sure that's what i'll go with, and repaint the front trim rings charcoal metallic to add a little more contrast.

Your painting is pretty sweet. Do you do anything special to prep the hubs?
