Red and black are common colors. Check the C4 for sale section, I'm sure you'll find many pictures of each color.
As for the wheels, what are you leaning towards?

Just out of curiosity, Do you know how much it cost to have a C4 painted? Before you go around saying that money is no issue, you should know that an avg color change on a c4 is between $4000-$10,000 depending on the quality.
Not saying you don't have the money, just saying you may want to consider fixing your C4 and selling it to buy one the color you want. Many of the C4's running around the streets today are not worth the cost of a complete respray.

Fix your mechanical issues, sell it and buy a red or black one. Much cheaper in the long run.
If I were you, I'd keep the Aqua, pretty rare color. Red/Black are a dime a dozen.
