If you really can't decide get the rear one painted to match the front, less effort as it doesn't have wheel bearings to be removed before it's cleaned.

My NC24 track bike now has gold rear and graphite front wheels! :D

Personally i think black would be the only option.
White just looks random.
Or you could do it HM Plant orange like mine :)
