I voted red. Mainly because you want them to stand out. If you paint them blue, its going to blend in with the black/blue look of the car and be overlooked.

Red will make them noticable, and give it that performance look.

I'd go black for the clean/subtle look.

Well man, its your car, so it comes down to what YOU want the color to be. You can get as many opinons as you want, but if 99,999,999 people say red and you like blue... you will not be happy till you get blue.

They will look good as long as they are painted.
