Black will look great on a red car, but bronze will be the hotness. You don't need pictures. Just paint them bronze. It's the new trend, I'm telling you.
(PS - Go for the larger wheels if you can. The smaller size of the 14s will offset any new look you do.)

Soy originario de Tijuana, B.C. pero vivo en California desde el 99. apenas tengo 19 años, asi que estoy joven todavia. Tengo my carcacha desde el 2003, si tienes alguna pregunta, especialmente sobre mods para el interior, dejame saber, asta el momento le e hecho algunos sutiles pero de buen gusto a mi carro que es casi igual al tuyo (RS, rojo, pero sin ala trasera)
I say you go with black rims, these are the ones I'll put on mine eventually:

stock chromies ftw. I've had my eyes out for a cheap set, they never seem to show up though.

My friend has a red car and he polished the lip and painted the wheel bronze. It doesn't look bad imo. I don't have a pic with the bumper painted yet, but I'm sure you will get an idea of what it looks like. He made a write-up on DSMTuners (username is DSMCrazy3) on how he painted it so check it out.
