Everyone does black accents with yellow. Why not go white over yellow with white wheels? It'll stop the door jams and other areas from standing out.
I tried a quick test on the 3M site. |

I think yellow and hot pink would be fun.

For wheel color, look at color charts, especially for complementary colors. A bright or dark pink will work. Black is a bit dull, methinks. Use this tool: https://www.sessions.edu/color-calculator/ You could do the outside of the car in that neon yellow and then the door jambs, interior, and wheels in neon pink. humfrz is a dirty, ancient man. Please ignore him. Or better yet, make fun of him.

is it the florescent nature of the wrap that causes it to fade? living in southern california we get plenty of sun and heat and i have not noticed some friends cars who have used vinyl on their vehicles fade.

The pigments used for fluorescents are not nearly as stable as "regular" wrap/paint. Sun, extreme cold or even a moist atmosphere will break them down pretty quick. I don't understand the chemistry behind it but do know we have to redo our vinyl fluorescent lot markings at work a couple of times a year.
