12-14 AWG wire will be fine. Look on the end of the can, it is marked which side is positive. You might want to test the motor rotation before fully soldering it on. If the motor rotation is backwards, just swap the pos/neg wires (pos to neg and neg to pos)

14 AWG works well, 12 is a bit more than you would really need for the low current consumption of a high turn motor. Make sure to use flexible wire and get the motor tabs good and hot before applying solder.
