There is only one choice. DT RWS will match your front and rear perfectly.
On the tyres, makes sure both beads sit down in the central channel of the rim, then pump like crazy. Always works for me. When the tyre is partially seated in the hook of the rim, air can escape. Let air pressure force the bead under the hook.
On the decals, you have to match! I have gone with the silver outline like your front wheel on all of mine. Much less shouty than the white.
Colour is a real tricky. The subtle Rapha Continental look of pearl or metallic black with a pearl white and pink accent always looks classy. Otherwise, bright is in baby! Look at the Independent Facrication owners website for some inspiration. The Mercian bike builder has a great online colour tool where you can play to your heart's content.
