I had yellow wheels on a red bike once. It was actually a red/black CBR600F3 and it looked sweet. I got a lot of comments on it. I've considered that for the VTR and also a medium blue color. I can't decide, so I've left mine black.

leave the spokes and spoke ridge "black". paint the remainder of the rim with metallic
silver urethane paint that closely matches your fork bottoms and swingarm. that color
ties all the alum.bits on your bike together,makes an attractive contrast between rim and tyre, and is an easy clean-up as you probably won't need to clean the spoke area
each time you ride. i did that to mine 3 yrs ago and it is holding up very well.
