id go for white 17"/ 18" five or six spoke, would look the bizz on a red fto IMO.

5 spoke white or black 17 inch alloys - keep it simple - no polished rims or fussy looking wheels etc.

I sprayed my original GPX wheels black had them on my red gr looked the biz, now got Kei racing hyperblack on look even better

Same wheels now powder coated black



Its not a red car but you get the idea.

Wheels are forged magnesium "Work RSZ" rims - quite light - came on the car.
Not looking forward to the day I have to replace one - can only find them on sale in Japan for over €500 per rim.

There are loads of similar type wheels for sale - try and get a lighter alloy if at all possible - less unsprung weight = better performance.
I like a "track look" - hence if I was looking for wheels I would be thinking along the lines of Buddy Club, Speedline, Enkei, Work, Rays etc
It really depends upon your budget and whether you want lightweight performance wheels or just wheels that look good.

The lancer register (www.lancerregister.com) have some good deals on wheels - enkei evo 8 alloys for £76 each (after membership of £35, £116 each without membership), and they're also doing Team Dynamics ProRace 1 wheels - http://www.lancerregister.com//showthread.php?s=&threadid=91661, these for £94 each once you're a member.

Got me some Enkeis off them, but I'll prob hold off on tyres until the new year, get past the non wheel friendly winter months. With the Evo 9 now out the evo 8 wheel supply could dry up quick enough methinks.
